X WHEEL OF FORTUNE.
The road was slick with ice
A miasma of pure white
An old car traverses
It slips it swerves, no control
And by the time help arrives
It’s too late
Their blood feeds the soil
Lives snuffed out
(Mother!)
What did you say? In your
text, what did you say to me?
You said “I am so sorry
I am engaged, I must go
We should not speak again”
I felt so numb
Why do I feel for you?
And there is nothing
Nothing at all for me
I’m not myself at all
An empty shell just a husk
And to my surprise
There was an invitation
Addressed to me
Are you trying to rub my
face in your joy and
happiness?
I take you to be mine forever
In sickness and in health
To love and to cherish
TO BE CONTINUED….
