As you curl
and tighten
your twisted rope
around my neck
and stare
with your twisted smile,
into my soon-dead eyes,
I hope it becomes clear to you
that upon autopsy,
my vengeance is airborne.

Gratitude For Life
The last time I laughed so hard that my belly hurt was ___________ Rupi Kaur's Gratitude Writing Prompts When I was 24 and going to a women's support group we would laugh, I would go home with a sore face and sore sides. Why? I wasn't used to smiling or laughing. After a few months of doing that, I never have a sore face, sides, or belly from laughing as I laugh enough.
