Gold courage in glasses from last night
Glow and gently remind me I'm not the golden child
Not with my gold knees, sitting on the bathroom floor
reflecting words I wish I hadn't said to her.
Gold coins the offering you leave in silver plates
At altars laid by father's father's father all those days ago and
lo, behold--my mother lays her golden hair
down the chair
All I can do is stare
And wonder where the golden days disappeared

Cabin Fever Because of Snow, Sleet, and Freezing Rain That Turned to Icy Roads
What Is Cabin Fever? The short answer is that cabin fever is restlessness from being in a confined area. Cabin fever is the distressing irritability or restlessness experienced when a person or group is stuck at an isolated location or in confined quarters for an extended time. Research shows that prolonged cold, gray skies, and being stuck indoors can trigger mood shifts similar to “winter blues.”

Killing him slowly
There’s an intruder in my house again. He stumbles through the door, wet carrier bags in hand. He’s bought me offerings. I show my appreciation, letting him caress my beautiful body. He wants to touch me. I rub myself against his legs. He sighs, dropping the bags. He can’t resist touching me. Running his hand slowly down my spine, I arch my back towards his caress, let out a low purr. It’s what we both need.
