where the wild flowers grow

I sit
on my feet, smoking,
breathing and
my lungs freeze as I

have a conversation with a ghost who once loved me.

What is that, you say? Something
of luck, it
chilled my bones.. you became that tree.

But your skin is not so thick, you see,
your hands are still not clean.

there's still blood under your
paper thin fingernails...

I pretend to ignore it.

Sometimes, you
are an almond,
shaped and slightly red
with
tortured veins..

other times,
you're death,
wearing a
cherub's mask and
you claim that
you are the enemy of hatred and suffering...

..but I am no longer naive.

I am aware
that you despise me,
when you spit at me lies and
torture my tears until
they scream in pain.

No,
you are nothing and
you never loved me at all.

Sad, Meg; but I found that even the warm memories can freeze-frame at sub zero temps.
Keep warm, put some gloves on and lots of pampering body lotion.

What Raph said for sure, but it is that second in time that one "knows" that is monumental, and life changing. Excellent Meg.

WOW!

so many great phrases to be able to choose only one, creating magnificent images that flashed back and forth as I read this.

Thats the second time I've ever read anything that actually made my eyes start to water, not quite to wetness, but just a little wet. The first was one I wrote while I was in the process of writing it, but wow, you've gotten alot better.

Very tragic,

Love this.
