Poem -

DEAD AIR

she snatches at random
particles
stuffs them in clothes
contorting a shape that fills
up up... grows... into...
something acceptable
something human and neat,
checks the long mirror, ticks
Off, face body....feet,
she panics with rushing
Fuck..fuck...can't find the
smiles...
deflates with the effort of
too many miles, still
To go

Marion this was such a heartbreaking read. Feeling numb and invisible is something I can relate to. You are a wonderful writer and a woman full of wisdom, you have inspired me many times. 

she panics with rushing
Fuck..fuck...can't find the

smiles...

this part tipped it for me. Sometimes it feels impossible to put on that face, expected of you 

A powerful piece 💗🌻x

Aw...another lovely comment, I think they are full of emotion because I'm just one big bloody tear but I don't want to keep writing my grief, at least not in an obvious way. Thanks so much love ♥️
