Somewhat darker, dear Twinkie
I actually wrote this about a week ago, but never posted it. I like it, especially the stanza with the thumb twisting in it. + = + = + = + = + The dark frightens me The underbed creatures And the creepy thing that Lives in the Crystal Doorknob Of my Childhood closet….
And swallow me in the darkness Never to be heard from again The silence petrifies me I wait to hear… and nothing Nothing nothingness is all that comes In response and I grapple with My human needs, scoffing critic Takes her thumb and twists it Silence wants to pummel me And make me numb again Without connection, stillborn heart

yikes... the silence soothes me. :) then again.... it took me forever to get my kids to go to bed, my daughter's boyfriend to go HOME so I can FINALLY enjoy my tiny moment of solitude and peace and quiet! posted by

You know, Twinkie - it is strange how something I love - quiet, stillness - can also be something I despise... obviously. It is truly a momentary thing... although perhaps it is because I was raised in the chaos of a big family, I enjoy and can focus intently in really loud spaces. Sports bars in the height of Football Season on Sundays. Great places for me to write!! Go figure!
