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

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.
