For Them We Worked
Forgive this battery; tilt up your chin. You're ready now. Still, absent. "Help! Help!" Life running in. Futile. Puckered breath on silent chest. Crushing pain and animal calls. "Please! Please!" A familiar voice. We work. Not for you. You are lost, forever and complete. Distinguished face, absent now. Silver hair matted red and brown. For them. We work. Body rushed to mind's demented end. Forgive us...

Premium Member It Worked Out Alright In the Middle
It's a day. There's a flip in it. First bit is a blah, blah, blah - lots of stuff we'll deal with later. You know, how it might all end as relayed by a doctor, but that's deferred until Monday and another doctor. Second bit, I got my act together. It didn't look likely when I showed up...

Premium Member I Worked In Her Shoes
I am not sure what size shoes I now wear, it is hard to be small with skin so fair. Wishing I was reading in a big chair instead I wipe my eye from a big tear. My heart smiles when others can takeover, this wheat is heavy not light like clover. Back breaking work not fit for any child this hard...

to you who seems to think time is infinite to you who seems so sure the clock will stand hushed and still until you’re ready to press that button i’m not sure what to say i don’t share your delusion yet strangely I must admit i relish in the illusion that time might somehow hover suspended and surreal if we so choose to...

Premium Member It Worked
She threw his ashes away. An impulsive act. Unfortunately, I had suggested it. As a joke. She says it worked! He is not haunting the house anymore. He was her husband. She professed to hate him. I have one awful thought. If she has regrets or he finds out it was my suggestion, Will I be the next one that gets haunted?...

Premium Member Winter's Witch Worked Wicked Ways
Rejoice the end of deathly days when winter's witch worked wicked ways. Free from dark times we sing our praise. Now sap flows after its long fast. Snowdrops flare white in bright contrast. Buds nourished, now they swell and burst. From blackest loam to spectrum glow. Bold blue, rich purple, bright yellow and subtle shades of pastel show. Aloft, we hear the 'caw-caw' cry as...

They got the nerve, telling a black person in America they need to work Put the shoulder to the grinding...

Premium Member Two Guys I Worked With - Gone Now
Charlie. I worked with Charlie for 14 years. He was a little older than me, did the same job. Sure had the "highs and lows" - he must have been manic-depressive or bipolar or something. He'd blow up, but remained a good friend. Charlie was big, had to be 350 lbs. or 160 kg. A...
