Black Widow

Lust too wicked
for diary pages
instead, she pens
a spiel of lacking,
paints herself
a neglected rose…

This reader
sees what is unwritten –
the woman is a garden
of thorny intentions

Few survive…

Permission to write, paint, and imagine are the gifts I gave myself when chronic illness hit - a fair exchange: being for doing. Relevance is an attitude. Humour essential.

  5. Is it okay to have favorites? This artwork, VJ! I’m not sure about the medium or your technique but it’s amazing. BEAUTIFUL…and those sharp edges depicted toward the right…broken glass, windows, a mirror? Love the whole composition. 🥰
