Tammy Hendrix ~ A Soul in Pieces Poems

I see her madness
undulating like the tides
rising crooked smiles and jagged laughter
falling lost, exhausted with reality.
...

I gave flowers once

pretty as momma
...

For a moment
I turned away
caught
in my child-like adornment
...

I close my eyes at night.

Imagine a life without pain.
...

I woke to the twining of fingers
snaking beneath warm blankets
following the arching of my leg
risen slightly
...

Corpses line hallways

Vacant faces with Thorazine grins
...
