Very powerful and raw. You do beautiful dark poetry,

… wrong,
 wondering when her husband
 stole the simple innocence 
 of her country-girl childhood.
 
 Mom recoils from me,
 turns away and cries
 like she always did when her husband
 raised his voice or fist.
 I hold vigil beside her,
 watching dusk turn her
 into a dark silhouette.
 She teaches me how to weep.

I believe in honest true life stories with the thrill of life, romance and strong emotion.
