i worshipped her hands
veins that twisted flour
over garlic butter broth
if only I could sit on the counter again
and forget about serpents. age of gaia.
orgasms. fire. the men I’ve let in
this dying dying rebirth and cower. cower.
between guilded pages of king james
but. i. can. not. fit. and she’d say when is the last time you were in the word? and i’d not mention dickinson or anais nin and she’d make the chopping loud and salt the cast iron and my mouth would water with the hope she’d see
i. can. not. be. made. more. holy.
but this is her kitchen and the smoke
makes me a dark thing
and when the gravy sticks to the spoon
she’ll scrub with lemon rind and water that steams and cracks her hands red
she can make this clean.
and I will send her this poem and she won’t respond and I will know why. I know why.
you do not respond to what you’ve mourned alive .

Kitchen poem prompt from @amykaypoetry #amykaypoemaday
What happens when I stop defending myself like I committed offence?
.
A day late with this one.
For #amykaypoemaday #aprilchallenge
.
Day 23: Write a defence
It feels like I am always defending myself. Finally, I asked myself, Why?
.
Uploading with a more simple approach. Tidy space tidy mind.

Love is maddening
Oh but we all

For love in madness :

Continuing from @tagramere - last word ‘serenity ‘ :
My first attempt at elfchen . I am alluding to beauty of nature . Most of us have had our hearts captured by the ethereal beauty of nature . Scenic beauty does touch the soul . :

You are worth all the pain : if love is beautiful and strong . It helps to deal with many external factors , societal , familial or financial , which can be very challenging . :
