Now they whisper
----
She had a child ...
Had?
She's never been the same
Her light went out
That day
It flickers back on
A shadow of a shadow
Gone before it shows
He broke her wings
when he took flight
Its been years now i hear
What.. empty nest syndrome?
Empty nest?
One could say that.
The bird flew before its wings were ready
Maybe its singing free now?
She doesn't sing anymore.

Guilt. Grief
Twin sisters, you
Brew poison...
Ladle it by the spoonful
into my skin
my every cell.
You flap black wings at me
Every which way i turn
Cackle and claw at me
Beating me into me
I curl in in in
I am a question mark
You twist me still
To a point a dot
a speck
I am nothing.
