4.8: a curious conception, originally uploaded by Scrivenings.
People Getting Divorced
People getting divorced
riding around with their clothes in the car
and wondering what happened
to everyone and everything
including their other
pair of shoes
And if you spy one
then who knows what happened
to the other
with tongue alack
and years later not even knowing
if the other ever
found a mate
without splitting the seams
or remained intact
unlaced
and the sole
ah the soul
a curious conception
hanging on somehow
to walk again
in the free air
once the heel
has been replaced

This really resonates since my soon-to-be-ex is headed to take his new job in another state far away in two weeks. We are making lists of what goes and what stays. Your picture with the torn jeans and mixed up shoes captures this feeling.
I can tell you for certain it does get better
Oh my, your entries are just becoming more breath-taking from day to day. This post upsets me for all sorts of random reasons.
You are pushing through to a new level. The poems and quotes with the photos- brilliant. Can’t wait to see what comes next.
so amazing. completely ditto cloudscome.
Thanks, y’all. It’s been a busy weekend, what with my birthday today and other stuff, so I haven’t been around much at all. But thanks for your kind words. I’ve got photos to get posted later today, but I’ve also got photos to process for an actual client, so I’m running a bit behind.
