Jeff Connelly Poet I do not know?

First

she was she
wanting to be
on top

reeling feeling
not quite a man
i sought

packing her bags
leaving a dear John
i slept

deeply sleeping
to forget but when
waking

missing a rib who 
did this did and done
was another one

but not the same as
the other though named
not forgotten

perhaps the bottom 
was better to the letter
L for love

or for Lilith who knew
this that though the
other

did come from a rib
mustn't i have come
from

her
cono

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart June 28, 2019 at 7:55 AM Ooh! Had to look that up. Anything Lilith piques my interest. Did I mention I've a tattoo for her? BTW, am having success with my nootropics, fatigue and fog clearing. I had so much energy I danced for an hour before bed night b4 last. Then sat under the stars feeling more myself than I have in years. :) xomo Jeff Connelly July 2, 2019 at 10:43 AM Thanks for all the info. I'm changing my poem to vulva. Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart June 29, 2019 at 8:12 PM I never cut again. But the self beating probably started a year or so after that, I can't recall. Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart June 29, 2019 at 8:10 PM Yes, I looked it up ;) Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart June 29, 2019 at 8:09 PM ...was pact with myself to never cut again, covered old scars. Got it three months after the accident. Did not hurt at all; I could have sat for a whole sleeve ;D Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart June 29, 2019 at 8:06 PM The tat is a nude bald woman with a snake tattoo on her leg, she's holding the planet Venus, my own drawing. Not my first, but on my forearm. FELT tattooed after that one. Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart June 29, 2019 at 8:04 PM The V word! Just learned this, Latin for sword holder, sheath. It's the hole, not the sexual organ, that would be Clitoris. Vulva's the word you want, it's the whole package. ;) Jeff Connelly June 29, 2019 at 12:19 PM Thank you for the comment, but better yet about you medicinal success. That's wonderful Maureen. Also very cool about your tattoo. What does she look like? There are so many versions and beliefs about Lilith. Lastly, did you have to look up "cono"? It wouldn't let me type vagina which I think is a more powerful word; but such is this site. Thanks Maureen.
