in 4 words or less by Julie Adams
I am lava,
a volcano bursts forth from my heart
it showers the seawater soulbed
I am winter,
my shiver rivals Himalayan avalanches
snowfall quiets the tongue
I am burning
2 red eyes aglow
left silent in 4 words or less
11/10/2009 Author's Note: the 4 words told to me:
he's "...going to the army"
...Monday, 11/16/09.

Posted by Olivia Martin on 11/16/09 at 01:23 PM As a former military wife, I understand your sentiment completely. This new war-ravaged world we live in calls those closest to us to do the unthinkable -- but please, rest assured, you will not be alone fighting in the home trenches.
Wonderful write. |
