And so
you died;
it wasn’t a lingering death
but one that was pre-ordained
from the moment the bitterness
spewed from your lips, and you knew it
to be so, and you encouraged the deed.
Perhaps the only real surprise
was that you lasted
this long.

I am dizzy with delight
ReplyDeletethat Pamme is here.
Pamme,
please return again and again
until we locate something
more civilized than a refugee camp.

I am, I am! I'm excited to be here. Haven't been writing and this quirky little piece found its way from my fingers today. I think it had to come out and make way for new things.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the life raft Pamme!
ReplyDeleteI knew a lady once who was at her father's death bed. She hated him for all of the fill-in-the-blank reasons. I asked why she didn't pull the plug and she responded, "I wanted to see him reach his bitter end."
It's a lovely hotel you have here, Mr. Dallas. I plan to make myself at home and stay awhile.
ReplyDeleteHello Pamme,
ReplyDeleteIt's good to read your words again.
Hello Pamme!
ReplyDeleteYour succinct style leaves me nodding my head in agreement.
Bravo!
:)

Hello, everyone! God, it is nice to see you all here. I've missed you!
ReplyDeletei like how this opens ... (and the rest too, mind you) ... but the first two lines are perfect ...
