thanks, darling.
Haiku/Senryu / After Truth Pushed Us Down the Stairs
dead in the toilet,
a crimson mass of pretense;
miscarry, we did

i read this and shiver at the mere thought of aborting, miscarrying, going through a stillbirth. you’ve captured the very sense of loss and for me, fear…
Without title this piece is crude. With title it is ironic and funny. I love it. The “we did” sounds like Yoda talking and I love that, brings ageold hairy green wisdom. You gotta read a couple of times to clearly feel it. Where your capitals at? I like this clever piece. If you changed the word crimson and used critical would it change your meaning or take to another level? Kinda gives it more militant viewpoint like science and space, considering this is about truth. Sorry for elaborating I love haikus and the mass meanings of a few words.
I liked it a lot. It made me think for a couple minutes before everything connected but the point is that it made me think. There is still one thing that I didn’t get which was the significance of “truth”. I don’t know what truth is a metaphor for but it does not matter at this point. At first, I was on the fence regarding the “yoda-like” speech of the last line but it grew on me after the third read. Bravo!
Well this is sublime…morbid imagery in all the right ways…in the literal abortion from the fall down the stairs, to the miscarried love from a stumbling relationship. Nice and dark…just the way I like it…real.
