Premium Member And Then
I loved you, once upon a time and then you went away and with no reason to the rhyme it falls on me to say to speak, create, and change what’s done so I can be alright and live today, until it’s done and find you in the night. So I imagine, through the fog, you found your mom and dad, your brother Michael, and...

Premium Member More Than a Hair Salon Widower
I'm loathe to agonize, but it's an issue guys! Some cash wafts heaven sent, but spoils like excrement! It's shops long hours that stink (are driving me to drink!) I sit home long retired. She's younger, art inspired; she loves her work's deft strokes on hair for gals (YES! BLOKES!) Immediate cut's praise (while poet waits for days! I drown in...

The Blind Widower
He can find the corners, follow the curves. He counts the space of a pace. Sometimes his dead wife will open a cupboard or wardrobe door. A pale blue light shines, as if the wardrobe or the cupboard had opened a window in his mind. He does not understand what this means, but knows she will put his socks away or find them. while...

The Widower
She still fills her housecoats on cold nights. The cat will always be the shadow of her hand. He will dwell in this home that she wove around his recliner, scrimshawing each thought with her presence. He mourns, not at the cemetery, but from the other side of a double bed. He rearranges nick-knacks by not touching anything. He does however place some sepia moments in a shoe box ...

Blind Widower
He knows how to see the dancing atoms of invisibility, how to look through unlit windows, as if he were light gazing in. Sometimes his deceased wife will open a cupboard or wardrobe door, a faint light sheens as if a window had opened in his mind. He doesn’t know what this means. His hands seem guided to find what must be found. She puts worn socks...
