A woman and man

A woman is a branchy tree and man a singing wind; and from her branches carelessly he takes what he can find.James Stephens

I nominate Morning

Margaret Atwood likens it

                To an amputation;

                             I would add that it’s a million experiences of death a day.

                                      Dry heaving, even vomiting, truly eventuates.

Forget painting on a smile – walking hurts.

Now you know what

It feels like and it’s so

much worse than imagined

I haven’t cried enough yet, only intermittently but I’ve died more than a million deaths.
