Ace of Swords
It’s the truth that
pings like a tuning
fork in your spine
makes You sit up
straight. Listen. It’s
like that time I gave
you a handful of
clouds and you said
it was like a dinner
bell echoing across
a pasture. You’ve never
been on a farm, but
the clatter made you
hungry and eager
for home.

Love the title, allusions, images, and character.

I really love this one, Teneice.
Beautiful, evocative language.
reminds me of the song ‘how do you solve a problem like maria’ in the sound of music.
Ooh that ending works so well.
Beautiful, enigmatic, intriguing.
soft and powerful like the rumbling of an approaching storm until suddenly it is upon you.
Gorgeous!
