I have to get out of this kitchen

I cried in my kitchen again
Today
Doing dishes in a summer dress
Face flooded like the tap around my hands
So I don’t think it was the onions
I think it was you
The fact that somewhere
Deep down inside near the surface
I still love you
And I don’t know what to do about it

Once again, so beautiful, and so emotionally charged! You capture every once of tension and emotion of the moment, the past tension and suspense of what's to come. As always, wonderful writing that touched my soul.

You are not giving yourself

You are not giving yourself enough credit. We have the advantage of being able to see the beauty and power of your poetry, while being insulated from the personal experiences that give birth to it. Because of your skill and talent, your poems transcend merely being a personal chronicle and become emotionally universal. And your skill with that scalpel makes the cut so exact and deep ;-)
