Author's Note:
Original poetry, don't like, don't read. At least it's short.
Summary:
It's a poem. About asshole husbands who rant as a means of expressing negative emotions.
Stones
Instead of listen, look:
Your husband’s words fall like stones,
One by one into the basket of your gut.
Collected, build them into a wall around your heart,
Line a well into your soul.
Looking, learn to duck without moving
Those stones that launch at your head.
(Their dust dries your eyes, your voice.)
The house you build
Shelters ghosts.
Wow, that touched a nerve, started crying immediately. Very simple words that pack an emotional punch. Beautiful and sad.
I like it. thank you!
Very powerful.
Very powerful. I commend your courage and your skill.
