a new poem: “Answer me this” by Thomas Typewriter

poetry

What role do I play in your life,

Husband or wife?

Am I determined by sex,

Or my effect?

Though I should not care,

I wonder if you would dare

to tell me

to reassure me

Why you love me.

Don’t answer too quick.

Please take your time to think.

In the meantime, I will continue my confusing ways

Awaiting what you will say.

a new poem: “Intiation” by Thomas Typewriter

poetry

When I asked for initiation,

I did not know the price to pay

You reached out and broke my hand 

claiming sorry, it was the only way. 

To discard what I could not hold. 

To discard what I could not say. 

Honestly, I thought you hated me

for taking everything I knew away. 

Maybe you knew this and hesitated.

Still you struck.

Aware that without the loss, the pain,

I’d never choose redirection.
