Indiana girl, backwoods, backwards, shy, country kid, run around, run over, run aground.
Defensive, pensive, creative, underestimated.
Hopeful, striving, organized, prayerful.
My love doesn't really love me
he just stays here
and I bear no interest on my investment
Bout to take my grandma for her last years
grandpa has two months left because of leukemia
tired, worn, unloved
agressively trying to hold on
to something that pulls away
whenever I ask anything of him
Such a tiny need in all of us
not to be poured over with overtness
but just the basics
of touch, talk and care
I'm continuously shorted the minimum
dying on the vine
begging for a gleam of progress.
I just need a bit of watering
from time to time.
