“Sanitized for Your Own Protection”
non bis in idem “untrue”, she considered the letter was passed between steel lines vertical and read “you’re not born again until you are dead” signed “Sanitized for Your Own Protection” Invisible, the cuts in a heart. Love in its many parts A Jigsaw Puzzle Bleeding pieces of a life moved around on clean courthouse tables before all the books of Judges discounted time now lost heartache and the truth recognised for what it was, reprised like a mouse trapped on a spinning wheel unable to "get off" Red A Road Light the doe stopped dead in her tracks was roadkill from the start she was marked pulled apart and disjointed by the beloved hunter a haunted unnamed ghost now seeking forgiveness tongue out to receive the host A Jigsaw Puzzle pieces moved forward on a black and white board bleeding out the violence unseen sanitized abstract bruises hidden light and dark veiled like a bride maintain some kind of dignified Silence; but not the eyes non bis in idem (LadyLabyrinth / 2020)
