Adulteress's Missing Thread

missing threads
----------------
She looks outside. The pale moonlight has fallen across the tributary, illusory moonshine,
like an intimate emission, now that the urgency is gone, meaningless. 
She looks inside. The sprawled bed sheet of flesh shines in luminous darkness which she
thinks she is. 
Remember the worth and compare with leaving behind the cords, one son and a lethargic
clergy who divides his self between interpreting the God and being her husband. 
She remembers the cats, the weekend cooking classes and small garden of oriental roses.
The pale moon is always hiding behind the clouds when you need it. The clarity is a burnt
out butt of the cigarette learning to jump overboard. She waves away the smoke. She looks,
once more, inside and outside.

deep and meaningful and deadly in other countries. confusion is the explanation sometimes. the intruder comes to steal there cats , cooking classes, and small gardens and instead of protecting them you let him get away with all that you have including your charactar that the laws failed to protect. i loved to read and offer oppinion on this one.
