Murder Your Darlings

this isn’t the kind of thing you can get in
or out of
without blood on your hands,


without
stealing breaths, without regrets, without
paying.

don’t get in this trade and think you can
stay clean.
it’s not that kind of thing.

it's
soul spilling

and someone always gets


hurt.

the last few wwords...

Susan,
yes I am trying to mix storytelling and poetry lately. Like the poem I did about the train station. It's fun to mix everything up.

Thanks for sharing your comments and support with me. You're a true friend.

This is also great. To think you are talking about something so specific and yet so vague... the "its not that kind of thing" really lets us get into the attitude of the narrator.
