| It Must Be Time For Lunch Now, 1979, by Francesca Woodman |
in the fractured links of my mind
thinking you would fill in the gaps
and mend the holes
wishful thinking on my part
you have been absent for so long
I blocked you out of my heart
fairly easy task
when one has a blockade
I don't believe in the adage
"sometimes you bend,
sometimes you break"
I hold the fork in my palm
clutch pain to myself
my soul burns infernally
with a mirrored effect on my body
I am not so sure of the lure of you
which is so impure
"I might rock, if my eyes stayed open
and I did not feel so drunk"
You describe this achingly well.
ReplyDeleteAh yes - such is the lure and devastation of love!
ReplyDeleteTotally amazing.... !!! I loved:
ReplyDeletemy soul burns infernally--

Relationships over empty places and spaces are difficult. It's no easy task to maintain the feeling of warmth, of love, while also considering indiscretions. You have expressed that so clearly, Gautami. Thank you for sharing this. ♥

ReplyDeleteThere is palpable pain in this. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThat is why people should realize what kind of feelings can be inflicted even visually. We develope feelings and sensory emotions.

Wow.
ReplyDeleteI can feel the agony in each carefully craft word here.
I was going to say the last verse was my favorite but I reread your work twice and I have to confess that I love the whole thing.
Start to finish.
