Start Somewhere
by Meredith C HartwellBecause I am not fooling anyone.
Seven years of love
six months of uncertainty, then
five weeks stable before
four days single.
Three hours since I cried,
too much in pain to breathe
another moment.
So the journal reads,
Day one:
Wake up. Breathe.
Try again. 04/01/2009 Author's Note: Prompt: "Write an origin poem. It can be the origin of a word, person, plant, idea, etc. Have fun with it."
