Hughes bless his heart, when I chose to ignite my depart, was licking cream from the bowl of some lush supine dark exotic panther while I took notes in my mind Poe-like, what can I say to my demerit, I’m an incorrigible romantic noir, some would go to extremes and say, a terrible moaning Lisa, no gold star, with delusions of necromancer grandeur and here I am, holed up with the portal (oven door) wide open, I rest and I ponder on how to slide away without noise; silently, I hear the soft padded panther paws in the back of my mind, "One day", I whisper, “I’ll have my death of him, his greed has set the woods aflame, his kisses parch, each paw's a briar... Doom consummates that appetite. In the wake of this fierce cat, Kindled like torches for his joy, Charred and ravened women lie, they become his starving body's bait. The black marauder, hauled by love” On fluent haunches, he does not keep my speed I hurl my heart to halt his pace and hurl my mind without debate, I leave my notes like poetry, I place for him, I place as bait I think this would make an excellent poem - adding in the present extras; but no, we must get on with the job, close all the adjoining doors, the children, I've done my motherly duty, my chores. I've read to them their magic kingdom stories, a kiss on each head, I tuck them neatly to sleep wrapped up tight in their innocent beds, there they frollick in their dreams blissfully unaware - I'll meet them there eventually. I methodically place towels over floor and door seams, each movement stradivarius, the tunes already scored, I think, what a marvelous poem, incredible music, incredible noise, Poe-like dedicated to him, “that would just be like she”, whispers he, when I’m gone, but not gone for long, for there I visit him in his nightmarish dreams, he cries out loud, “Oh Annabelle, Annabelle, Annabelle Lee thank Heaven, thank Heaven, the crisis, the danger, is past, the lingering illness - is over, thank Heaven, at last” he thinks, the fever called "Living" Is conquered at last. And there I hover above him eventually, succubus ghost, yes, that is me. never a word from his mind or his mouth, yet it is him that I feed, my voice on his tongue like a long kiss goodnight he speaks my poetry now silently like an obedient and ravenous Poe yet the thoughts and the words, never once ordinary, all come from me I’m never silenced I’m a mused blythe spirit incorrigible, always free always, free, romantic me (LadyLabyrinth / 2023) "Then a voice like a selected weapon/ or a carefully measured injection/ coolly delivered its four words deep into my ear," "Your wife is dead."
