Roof caressed by autumn rain.
I dream in poems. Ain't No KindnessThe first time I ever saw a man killed, I must have been about nine or ten. Papa was the killer, some lowly scavenger was the deceased. Some people might have been affected by such a sight, but papa always told us not to dwell too long on such things. He always said, the world's become so full of evil there's no such thing as murder no more. Killing's a kindness you can only pay those you don't love. That's a paradox if I ever heard one, but I'll be damned if it isn't true.
Back then, we lived on a settlement somewhere north of what had been San Diego some time before I was born. Not much out there but snakes and shrubs and rocks. Papa, my sister Leigh, my brother Tommy, and I had all just come back from a water run to the well at Gordon Law's place, which of course fell to Schlimpers a number of years ago now.

but her pride steals them like a thief in the night.
She wore a shuddering heart on tattered sleeves;
The flame burned bigger, brighter.
It emanates a future, in the distance,
she would never fulfil.
Her hopes and beliefs are road maps
to the unknown. All paths leading
to the same toxic moments; guiding
her to a world so flat that it startles her.
It shakes her and makes her weary of a
tongue too sharp and too hateful
for the delicate fruit it longed to taste.
Would bitter words that flowed from her
crush the people who beg to love her?
Would they see the cracks in her head,
chipped and crumbled, and still desire

Please feel free to send me a note if your literature group has an open admin position, or if you know of a group who needs help. Groups may be featured more than once in the "Group in Need" section!

Keep in mind that since this is only a monthly article I can't plan too far in advance, but I will be happy to add your group's call for help to my Love dA Lit article in the meantime.

Being featured in Love dA Lit previously does not bar you from being featured as the 'Group in Need'.
