Midnight, in the Garden...

by hayley*virgo - Aquarius

No one could force me
to bring back that night
or conjure up those memories
that I buried last month
with a tear, a shovel
and a freshly purchased handgun

But, I'll write you a story
and it won't be censored
so you might want to bring along some wite-out
to mutilate the text,
manipulate the meaning
and make it safe for the kids

Otherwise, sit back, relax
and feast on my x-rated thoughts
of that night that I'd rather not remember,
but do not care to share with
those strong enough to care
even though it hasn't happened to them
...yet

Reason for writing:

    this is sort of a preface for the poem that I just can't put to words yet...
