trolls and grandfathers

I drink coffee black because of my grandfather. He used to let me sit on his lap in the porch and sip from his strange Folgers brew as we watched the birds in the back yard. Now, like most things, he takes his coffee sweet: usually from a gas station, and usually in a Styrofoam cup. It’s one of the things that trouble me about old age. I don’t want to ever enjoy the mellow more than the bold. I pray he drink black coffee in his next life. Sometimes I would have my milk with him. We would stare into the woods behind their house, exchanging love without so much as a whisper. It’s strange for a two year old to be contentedl

Corporate Girl. by modernlove, literature

Literature

Corporate Girl.

Frustration rears its ugly head again. She turns her fake smile to the gaping glare in the window. The window of the 42nd floor. For a time while she daydreams her death She goes without noticing the holes in her refection. Her heart. Her Mind. All destroyed without a spot of blood on the "mans" cashmere couch. He eyes her value as she focuses Her eyes meet her own. No longer a color. Only the shade of faded dollar bills. She realizes now, as she meets her escape, the grey sky ascending Crooked body speeding towards the waiting taxi-cab below Her ride wasn't worth it Those holes weren't made but stolen. For

the innocent

I looked up. To trace the blood along the wall to it's source. It began in the dent... before the spatter. Where her head had caved the wall Where the shot still echoed I give up Her feet were black from the rust bridge. where she had eventfully planned a spectacular fall. but being spectacular - never her style failed as she remebered the smile recieved over the morning coffee's steam. However, upon reaching home, her loathing for life once again spoiled... She turned on the TV nightgown like a nightmare clouding the room. "There's war again!" the announcer broadcasted in a painful cheerfulness. a

As Girls Go.

I'm so tired of this boiling blood. Curtiling soon into madness and self doubt. Sometimes it seems like the future is as foggy as a Winter storm. Locked inside your own head of regret things that would be different. ... if your mind wasn't on repeat. This playlist frankly sucks darling. Things change and it's easier to accept them when there's a way to quell your pain. A cut to the wrist A bloody device carefully kept. in that shoebox buried in the underwear drawer. Take it out again sweetheart. See if it calls your name. I hope it doesn't. Because I'm sick of your heart lost in the panick of fee

I like your 'user ID' picture - a damn good representation of your art.
Just like to say thank you for your continuing support and companionship. I will be anxious to re-establish some consistent communication with you. You ought to fork over your address because I don't know about access to a computer after I leave the RivFallPubLib. for the last time in a few minutes.
Until then, I hope you are able to chew, swallow, and even digest much of the grey feast. With kittens around it will come easier - and if not, with 'Thus Spoke Zarathustra', it will. I swear by it.
Expect a stack of joe smith's head laundry in the near future. Fare well.
