your warm chest and heart
is my only true home
a safe place to be
mouse house teapot house
everyone should have one
a simple safe life
swimming in a storm
unsafe dangerous stupid but
exhilarating
it is not safe
to be near temptation
too hard to resist
(cctv footage)
Jill Meagher murdered on her way home 2012
not safe for women
to go out at night alone
sad sick society
a safe childhood
taken for granted by most
the greatest life gift

ReplyDeletemuch love...
Wonderful gift for reflection
ReplyDeletesad sick society that cannot protect and respect its women...absolutely right.
ReplyDeleteThis was quite heart wrenching especially the Jill Meagher segment as that video footage has stayed vivid in my mind all these years. Sadly the punishment meted out is never sufficient to deter others.
ReplyDeleteSuch gorgeous cascade of words here!❤️
ReplyDeleteWOW...your particular brand of creativity is quite unique...I greatly enjoy it. And what a haunting image of the young woman, totally unawares in her last moments. Shivers.
ReplyDeleteEveryone should have a teapot house!
ReplyDeleteYour micropoems are amazing. I truly felt the pain and wondering in the one about Jill Meagher. And I loved the first one!!!!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Kerry! I also agree that
ReplyDelete'it is not safe
to be near temptation
too hard to resist'
and
'a safe childhood
taken for granted by most
the greatest life gift'.
Each of these is very apt.
ReplyDeletethe ending poem sums up what so many don't think twice about. It truly is a wonderful gift and start to life...
ReplyDeleteThis is a feast. Love the stormy swim, especially right after the safety of a home.
