AUDITION
He drops the tailgate on the pick-up
lets me sit up on the tarp
then tries to strum his bruised Ovation
as I sing into the stagnant pools of sodium
My voice seeps out like slow molasses
then the smile I keep behind my hair most times starts creeping out
my snakeskin boots both worn and dusty from a futile summer
denim skirt and waistcoat torn and frayed
a knotted lace around my wrist….. that’s all they found
‘When You Find Me…… I won’t be waiting’
a favourite Tara Angel number that he’s never heard before
he says it sounds so sad and puts his guitar back inside the cab
and gives me sway to sing the chorus
then the bag over my head
So many nights of tears I’ve wiped away and then lost count of
in this sunlit room that smells of wasted light and floodwater and weed
with Morpheus still lingering in the corner
as I try in vain to swim across another waking day
This ankh around my neck belonged to Billie in a previous life
but now it means the only thing that’s left of mine I get to wear for now
and then he brings this bridal gown and jewellery
and takes my shackles off the first time in a month or more
and says to smile
I try so hard to smile the way he tells me to
I try to smile and act as if my life will not depend upon it
Another empty pocket purse
another Thursday night
another car park rendezvous
another broken dream or two
H
A great start, nicely done!
Still only one entry? Where is everyone?
THE EXIT
She leaves behind a vacant room
A glass window half draped
Another with the blind drawn up
And grey walls
A pink & black satin dress which lay
Strewn callously on the floor
She picks up and slithers in
A delicate frame
Remnants of vanity fair
Just to have a feel of
Those lusty nights
She had spent in the arms
Of the betrayer
Her eyes focussed to the past
And the golden strands
She pulls back
With manicured fingers
Lost hopes and dreams
Hurt, pain and screams
Of anguish are never
To be shared
A vulnerable exit from
A room full of despair
Cocooned in a satin dress
Deep pink and black
Blushes of the virgin
Expectations and
Dark shadows of nights
Patched together
With Satin threads
The Old Religion
They don’t understand her; they think she’s insane—
Her belief in her goddess is so strong
In her scarlet and black dress she prepares for the rite—
She’s used now to being alone
Perhaps if they looked beyond the kohl-rimmed eyes
Past the trappings and black fingernails
They could see her beauty shine like the stars
And her spirit that on moondust still sails
They call her a witch and they are out for her blood,
Repeating history’s violent mistakes
Not realizing freedom, means freedom to all
No matter at what feast one partakes
Tonight she will worship beneath the full moon
And pray that intolerance will leave this world soon…

Thank you for the great entries so far, keep them coming.
I am setting the Deadline for October 5th
Pains her more.
Nothing pains her more
to be stuck,
where the demons roam
and the witches cackle.
She was a polite girl,
not at all how she looked.
Her flaming red hair
and long flowing dress,
blended well with the blood
that leaked through the floorboards
slowly drip drip dripping.
She is a lost soul
forever wondering the room
waiting,
for her lover to return,
not knowing it was him
who sliced.
Red and Black Dress
She put on red and black dress.
She seem to act bit weird.
She come over, sits next to me.
Whispers sweet nothing in my ear.
Rub her hand up and down my inner thigh.
We going back to our motel room.
I lay on bed and in dark wait for dream come true.
She crawl up the bed toward and kisses me all over.
Then she diced my manhood.
Thanks to all the great entres so far. This is a reminder that the deadline is coming up soon.
