One Woman’s Thoughts – part 2

One Woman’s Thoughts

By Susan Morgaine

 #2

Don’t have emotions

Don’t have feelings

Don’t have pain —

If you do, hide them away

Hide yourself away

Don’t expect sympathy

Don’t expect understanding

Don’t expect compassion

For there is none to be had

in the land of the sad

    Fin (the Owl of Cwm Cawlwyd) by Jenny Bates It’s raining, and my dreams of an evening meal feel like a wet discarded rag. It’s a blanket of a day. Wisely, I wrap my disappointment around me and dream of fish; whose fins carry them through water like my wings through air. It’s ironic being…
