    Exactly two months ago I left my husband. This was the poem that I wrote 24 hours after.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    24 Hours

    24 hours and I am in the house again
    filling the gerbils water and food dishes to the brim because we will be gone for another week while things start to sort themselves out
    putting the leftover turkey from christmas in the freezer because I know that no-one will be here to eat it
    gathering a few essentials that we missed 24 hours ago when the three of us fled the house at 2:00 am in silence while my husband slept
    those 24 hours are nothing
    sand frozen in an hour glass
    the tears have come and gone and will come again for a necessary betrayal and the grief of leaving someone you love because he has done too many wrongs
    you said you would cut off my arms and legs but instead I cut you off
    you said you would take out my eye but I still have two that will not see you
    you said you would take a knife to my stomach and pull out my guts but you missed and only tore out my heart
    you said I don't know what kind of scorpion I have in my pocket and I say I was just the spider on your shoulder that you could not crush
    mi vida
    24 hours
    good bye

    This one has a sort of unusual prose-like feel to it.

    You think so? I think I really need to break out of this repetitive style.
