This week, my Monday motivation takes the form of a picture – and a grisly one to make you sit up, get thinking and write!
Looking at the photo, here’s what came to mind for me:
The Killing
The knife plunges in,
Blood oozes out,
Splashing me, cascading down,
Again I stab, deeper this time,
Unyielding, I go on,
I cannot stop.
*
My eyes are alive, opening wide,
I remember it all,
What have I done?
I look around me and smile,
Lean back against the sweat-soaked pillow,
Just a vivid dream, a nightmare perhaps.
*
But sometimes my mother-in-law makes me feel that way.
