Post #90 – The Taboo of Human Trafficking and . . . A Poem
Angels whisked her away to her childhood ethereal wildflower fields Ripples of gentle waves dancing upon crystalline waters Reflected her lithe frame waltzing in the midst But then She woke up bleeding and freezing in an empty bathroom balled up in the corner on an icy rocklike floor […]
Post #88 – 6 a.m. Another Painful Sleepless Night and a Raw, Unedited Poem
Please correct writing errors in your head. Exhaustion wrote this entry. I just went along for the ride. As I watch my computer clock race towards 6 a.m., I have an unsettling awareness of my heartbeat. I feel it tapping against my skin. My whole body hurts; my bed chokes […]
