Stature.

It takes a strong man to handle a broken woman;
& an even stronger one to not find her broken at all;
To see the fractures in her stature
as brief glimpses of the blinding light inside her soul.

Rainy.

Call it the haunting crimson flag of a lesson learned
or the paranoia found in the calm before the storm;
I hear your voice in the dark, shaking sky,
taunting: “It’s the rainy season”.
