Suddenly gone
with no good-bye
Darker the dawn
in which we cry
Choices not made
Futures betrayed
Life’s care unfair

What’s Wrong With That
Listen to one
silly love song
and when it’s done
tell me what’s wrong
with all the joy
love can deploy
to all who call

Love’s Cutting Edge
Don’t be afraid
my little dear
of the sharp blade
Mommy is here
Alive or dead
you’re beloved
and free with me

In response to the 10 October Monster, She Wrote prompt at the Brave & Reckless blog and based on the titles of short stories and books discussed in the enjoyable and informative new book “Monster, She Wrote: The Women Who Pioneered Horror and Speculative Fiction”by Lisa Kröger. This prompt was “Beloved” by Toni Morrison.
