Jealousy

you wear your jealousy like a coat of armor

using it to protect your heart

when you embrace me

your scattered thoughts attack you

and you wonder

where I’ve been

with who

and how long

and in your kiss

I can taste your anxiety

it’s bitter, and coppery, and overflowing

but you, and your manly pride

will never admit to it

the truth as you know it and I know it

the truth as it poisons us and this relationship

leaving you gaunt and thin

and me

shamefaced and stuttering

although I have done nothing wrong


10.9

My heart swells

With Love

And other stuff

like

Hope

Forgiveness

Regret

Resignation

How I miss you so…

Sea

I am drowning in a sea of sorrow

But don’t help because you refuse to swim

Instead You stand on the shores of safety and wish me well

I am sinking and soon

The world dims

You’re silent now

Congratulations!

You’ve made me disappear…

Yesterday, a man in a shirt declaring him “World’s Best Grandpa” stared at me as if I had on a shirt that said “World’s Most Delectable Piece of Meat”. He even had the nerve to have his mouth half open as if in a private moment of ecstasy. I wanted to tell him, “No salivating”, but I didn’t have the time to engage him in conversation – I was in a hurry to complete my woman errands.

Yesterday, a pigeon decided to unceremoniously use me as a toilet again. Contrary to popular belief, I feel decidedly unlucky.

Tomorrow, I am going to a wedding. I haven’t been to a wedding since…when I remember, I’ll let you guys know. I’m happy that in the midst of all my therapy shopping, somewhere along the way I remembered that there would be invitations to events that required something slightly more appropriate than my standard freak em’ dress. I don’t want to outshine the bride so I’m gonna refrain from pulling out my ballroom gown and stick to a LBD and some 5 inch heels that will hurt my feet as soon as I think about putting them on – ahh, the joys of being a woman…
