I don't want to be tough, she said one corner of her lip downturning I want to break founder go under. I want to sink to crumple, weeping not caring who sees. I won't bear up. No more. I want to wail and shriek spit anger shout the f word. hurl your laundry from my upstairs window. into the street. I don't want to be strong. I need to be tempted to fall to spend to pile up debts max your cards blow it all and walk away. I want to sit down quietly with all your photos cut them square between the eyes and the smile -Susannah Anderson |
