(((B2)))
I wish you still had your kitty. I'd be devasted without my elephant. Even my kids know to be gentle with her, she is so old. I took her to therapy once and my therapist held her so gently.
I showed him this poem today. I told him he had helped me finish it because he was the one who said my elephant was magic, she could weave a web of safety for me. He liked the poem but said it was really disturbing and twisted. The title misleads, the rhythm and rhyme waltz but the words jar. He tried to find the right word, like incongruous, but ended up saying it just made his stomach hurt. I nodded and said isn't that exactly what all this is -- twisted? Incest is essentially a childlike poem warped with adult concepts. He nodded and told me to keep writing. And to keep sharing. I'm glad I can do that here.
I love your addition. Thank you for that. I'm sorry you understand so well.
