plum cake

coffee & cigs

how do you tell your mother that you want to destroy what she has created?

you do not

you refuse the cream for the plum cake

"you know I don't like cream, mama"

you listen to the table talk

in one ear, out the other

then you drive to your own dark flat

and scream without a voice

till your ears ring

    some of your imagery, admittedly
    i can't comprehend
    but i think, i relate to your theme
    indeed, life is precious
    and a 'loving' parent, we must
    respect and treasure..
    (i like your poetic ambition, thanks for sharing)

    Let your pen do your screaming from now on
    Your voice is loud and clear here
