I’ve got a pissed off shadow

and I ain’t afraid of that man today
because his feet are splintered biscuits
his height is only length,
and it wilts with the sun


but when it’s dark, he’s everywhere
he’s sneaking in through my open mouth
and I’m choking on something that only wishes to defy me.

    Mollie,

    There is something strong and weak and wise
    and wrong and right and wise about you…all
    good things by the way.

    What is captivating about your writing is your
    soulful almost mournful use of words…which
    are like collages sniped from the past, present
    and future…

    I wonder what you will do next…

    Be Well
    Poetman
