You Say, “I’m Sorry for Everything”
How am I supposed to know —
What I need
Is for you to state
What happened
That you understand how hurtful
Were your actions
Clean up this dirty room
Your generalities
Fly out the window
Like a bunch of crows
So go your way
I’ve told you how to lighten your burden
I can do no more for you

Choices
I raise three fingers
Like fat sausages
And I count
Letting my breath in and out
One
Two
Three
Three are missing
Hiding as in a child’s game
Have not been created
Nor have we made love
In as long as I remember
And yet today is number four
Best when choices are limited
Too many choices confuse
Like the swan
That chooses a duck for a partner
I choose poetry
Fantastic, Annell……”your generalities fly out the window like a bunch of crows”……..fabulous piece, pointed and perfect. Light a candle after those noisy crows fly out:)
Yes, the exodus of crows was the most powerful image for me also..these words may be hard to say but the power with which they are ‘said’ resonates..loud..clear..strong..Jae
Generalities flying out the window like a bunch of crows! What a visual … I enjoyed this Annell.
flying with the crows….or …ravens always good….nicely done and thanks for your words
Like “Your generalities
Fly out the window
Like a bunch of crows”
I choose poetry, yea!
