Comforter
a haiku
Thirty pounds of lush
plush sedate my body. Heat
waves across my skin.

Tangled Quicksand
I reach for you through shifting ground, But every step pulls me deeper, Where echoes of anger coil around The whispered love I keep in secret. Your eyes are both anchor and abyss, A storm I cannot tame nor flee. The past and present intertwist, A future that refuses to be. I fight the pull of your memory, Yet find solace in the ache. Quicksand heart, wild and free, I sink willingly, yet awake. No bridge can span this fractured space, No word undo the tangled trace. Love and rage, a twisted dance, An impossible future caught in chance.

a weighted blanket? I would throw it off. Congratulations on your win! Well done.
Congratulations!
Congrats, Jada! Not sure why I didn't comment the first time I read this. 'sedate my body' was such a relatable feeling for the moment.
Wooohooooo congratulations on your win! 🎉💖🎊🎉💖🎊
I love how you were able to make an internal rhyme feel so natural in such a short piece. Congratulations!
That blanket looks so comfy! Congrats!! 🎉
