Fingers vice-grip every curve

A semblance of normalcy

My eyes see it all
But I chose to stay silent
Silent no longer

I didn't want fights
I wanted to keep the peace
Peaceful no longer

I have a strong voice
I'm going to fucking use it
Fearful no longer

I'm angry, tired
Worried about the future
Spiral no longer

Peace

Snow days,
Bus delays,
No school, time for fun and play.
Hot chocolate and coffee,
Cheesy noodles and soup,
We'll be okay, that's the honest truth.
So come home safe as you travel home
I swear the fuck if you do this again I'll smack you in the dome!

Life throws you curve balls
You never want to catch

I don't know how to play baseball

Every inch of my body feels heavy and numb

I'm angry
But I have no one to be angry at

The weather looks pretty
The snow looks crisp and serene

But it can fuck off and give me my husband

I hate it all!!!

I just want him home...

Day Two
Tomorrow
Tomorrow's finally here
He's coming home tomorrow
It'll be late in the evening
It'll be long and exhausting hours
But he'll be home

That means after tomorrow
It'll be day one

And he'll be home

Day Four

I'm impatient

I'm antsy
Why can't the day show up already

I'm tired of crying
I'm tired of missing you

Come home already

Day Five

Finally good news

The news I've been desperately waiting for

A light at the end of the tunnel

The elephant's foot lifted from my chest

Happy tears fall tonight

Finally a light.
A light at the end of a very dark tunnel.

Finally calm.

Calm at the peak of heartache and grief.

Finally,
finally,
finally,

tears of relief.

My dearest child

I will go hungry
so you can eat

I will go cold
so you can stay warm

If you’re thirsty
take my water

If you're tired
I will be your pillow

You are my heart
and my soul

And I will do what it takes
in this life and the next

I will fight
So you thrive
Instead of survive

Disassociation time
It’s like time travel without going anywhere

Take a minute
Take five seconds
Long enough to ground yourself
Feel your heels dig into the dirt
The breeze hit your skin
Your tongue touch the roof of your mouth
You don’t have to have everything figured out right now
Look at it from every angle
before you walk your path
And walk

Marriage

Take a deep, deep breath.
Husband proceeds to pass wind.
Retching and gagging.

I wrote a book!

A dark, lyrical noir about grief, predators, and the stories we tell to survive.

A weary investigator.
A haunted vampire.
A city that keeps applauding the wrong monsters.

Some crimes never stay buried.
Some ghosts want justice.
