Woman in blue

her cranial uterus 
scarred from the 
still-born fetus 
of daddy's love

she tended to the 
worthy-nots 
in her garden of 
despair

while the ghosts 
of a childhood lost 
clawed at her insides 
& rosary-bleeds 
dripped upon 
virgin sheets 
soiled by their memories

from Bathroom Graffiti by Terry Smith available on Amazon

wow, metaphorically brilliant...with such attitude.
love the play on words with "rosary-bleeds_ of course an old catholic boy would appreciate.
and daddy's love which never really came...the childhood she never really got to have because things happened to make her grow up and away, much too quickly.
love this.
am off to read more.
