dang .. the Cafe' is presenting senryu today. just started my visits and already two out of three .. this one is super dark and all i can think of is getting hit in the face unawares by spider webbing ... your personification of ones tears in such a place is super says i ... dead flies ... we create these horrors in our dark corners and paint them with unapproachable horror so as never to be looked at in the light .. but they fester don't they? powerful stuff ma'am! really has me thinking! thanks for sharing

Dear Chris. Amazing use of words. You allowed the reader to feel and see your words. Trapped like dead flies. I liked this strong description. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.

This is very interesting and dark and what is even more impressive is that these short words can have a lot of impact and give some meaning. Lovely piece, I liked this.

felt this, and serves as a reminder to me that I seem to constantly need, to let go of stuff . I need to go dust the cobwebs from the darkest corners of my mind, maybe I won't be the one crying anymore.
