Sunday's Whirligig 194

 

THIS WEEK'S WORDS come from "A Ritual to Read to Each Other" by William E. Stafford: should shrug cruelty darkness discourage miss know horrible tail fool  lost fragile

 

 

 

you should miss her
but she knows you don't
you walk away with a shrug
as if she never existed
you did nothing to discourage her
horrible men with little horns and tails
are drawn to her like moths to a flame
lost and fragile she is a fool to expect anything else
cruelty and darkness are part of her life
