hand

[zooropamanda]

your heavy knuckled hand,
freckled and soft haired
is how i remember you
your worn, pale face,
skin loose and wrinkled
silently creeping out of view
hallway so long with its winding walls
echoing the shrillness of beeping soliloquays
she wants to lock that night up into a tunnel of wind
forcing the billowing airs from beyond

daring white life
starting down the hall
torturing and teasing
the ghostliness
a lie, a laugh
you made me laugh
micks hair looks funny you said
a tear in the corner
back turned
shying her eyes from your smile

he'll be right in the morning...
im tired
go to sleep
no dont be silly
wake up
hes going
hes going
get the priest
dont you
get the priest Mum

she crawls inside the wall
holds her hands over her ears
screams in the bathroom
laying on the floor in a huddle
cant get up
endless rocking
and swaying
and rocking
and swaying

still

dont know how to fix it
dont know how to stop it
dont know how it ends

and there I was calling my attempt dark and morbid

love this one Manda, some great imagery coming out..particulary the portion below

hallway so long with its winding walls
echoing the shrillness of beeping soliloquays
she wants to lock that night up into a tunnel of wind
forcing the billowing airs from beyond

Amanda, this one feels like it completely stabbed me thru my heart..

extremely powerful, very painful

she crawls inside the wall
holds her hands over her ears
screams in the bathroom
laying on the floor in a huddle
cant get up
endless rocking
and swaying
and rocking
and swaying...
dont know how it ends

makes me want to scream, i dunno if i can read this again
wish i could give you a hug

but for the grace of love I'd will the meaning of heaven from above...
