Slam poetry: that magical mix of rhythm and rhyme.
Easy
Introduction This week I took delivery of the fourth Curved Air album, "Air Cut", which I don't think I have ever owned or heard. I played it all, and it seemed very familiar and rather excellent, especially the closing song, which forms the basis for these words.

The version that fits.
I tell him I'm going to write. That’s what I fed my second husband. Sun, distance, blue water, and space to clear my head. He ate it up. That’s the version that fits inside a marriage without splitting it open. But I came here to remember. To finish something that never had an ending. Twenty-five years is a long time to live inside a story that stops mid-sentence. There's a villa on the hill that's mine for exactly as long as October lasts, and I do write there, some. It's the rest of it I don't explain.
