The shadow people

I know there’re here, I feel the frozen spine tingles on occasion And I just bumped Jose’s elbow on the way to the bathroom We shared a drink bump last Friday, so I recognized the feeling Sophia’s passed out making mouth noises as she snores or whatever she’s doing The whole scene makes me think of Cheers from TV (where everybody knows you’re name and they’re always glad you came…) They mean no harm, there not here to scare Just some lost souls looking for company I wouldn’t dare call them my friends, for I’d get some stares But I would love to be that comfortingly “friend” that helps them move on In the dark, there are passing by glimmers of light Like crooks of elbows I know I am not alone here Is it me or here that attracts or accepts My mind will converse with them or talk stories In a different life I feel we’d have been friends The blinder I get the more I see For now I put them in a special “box” the corner of my mind Safe from harms way And safe they’ll stay Heidi Talbott 2023

Flooded

There’s a river that runs through my brain It flooded one day taking all in it’s wake with it down But my thoughts still bobbled along Landing to dry and recollecting Brushed of and no longer soggy The words rejoiced Free again Joining and creating happens again Words can be so powerful, Yet disarming What you hold can be so many things Time tells so many different stories Heidi Talbott

Lights

I never wanted my name in lights or anything close I am smart, but never realized how I was just a girl, less than, or that was what I was born into and brainwashed to believe Fighting uphill in the wind I don’t take kindly to No Even today as my body kills me from the inside out I have every reason to accept and take no for the answer yet I cannot or will not My favorite quote, “You are never too old to be what you were meant to be.” George Eliot If I was meant to be a writer I’ll keep going and someday maybe I will be I need to get over fear of trying and do it How is simple Try & let the words help me Heidi Talbott 2023

Pretentious Behavior

All dolled up with not a clue Pretty faces and nice asses stroll Not thinking evils awaits A wiggle, a smirk, She aimed to please Tear staines disagree Outcome less than pleasant Tears and tarnished apparel Brushed off made presentable What started as Innocent fun turned into grownup madness Nevertheless her walk of shame Was cast on her Not by her own valishion Heidi Talbott Authors note: These are just words not personal experiences. 2023

Conversation with myself

Pardon me, if you will I have a bone to pick with you, if you’ll spare a moment It’s me, that thing most call a leg, I don’t know which one of us it is, But if I’ve got your attention, we will just call it the leg for all intents & purposes I’m the thing you blame, take for granted Beat the crap out of if I don’t act as you feel I should I have felt the talons of that fork you took to me Just because you cannot feel me, doesn’t mean I can’t feel what you do to me Yet , I hold no ill will against you I have the bruises to prove it I carried you wherever you wanted for many moons I never complained, as you pushed me to take you wherever you wanted to roam I have never heard a thank you nor a good job You have a horrible disease, and I’m sorry for that, but it’s not my fault It is literally is all in your head If you’re brain malfunctions, blame it, I’m tired of being the scapegoat Instead of belittling me, maybe say I’m sorry and good job , or thank you Just a thought You have alw...

Questions

Who will write for the tears you spill Where do un answered prayers end up Do clouds have nightmares What makes a good ending end bad Where do the only the good die young Why does 1 bad apple spoil the bunch Why isn’t what’s good for Peter not good for Paul Or good for the goose not good for the gander Is there an really no end to the never ending story Who really won Apple or Microsoft Do walruses ever try crossing quick sand, and if they do do they ever get stuck? Can I sleep until next week for real or must I be knocked out to do it Heidi Talbott 2023

Lessons

Head rumbling Tongue on fire Self induced pain I feel Was fun, but now not so worthwhile Spits and pizza to blame for it all Tylenol cocktail or rather breakfast here I come I feel such bum Doesn’t get easier over time Nor lessons learned Hurts the same at twenty, thirty, forty, and more Those z, or sheep you want to count are playing leap frog while laughing at you No matter the number, objects or Birthdays There is no win at the end Until next weekend I bid you adieu And I try again!
