Derailed – A Quadrille

Derailed

Fraught with anxiety
from your polarizing display
of how to sabotage this special day
My nerve endings are stretched
and entwined into an intricate
pattern of macrame-knotted pain
I am frozen in place and time
Numbingly shocked by the spectacle
I have just witnessed

  5. A sterling metaphor, Christine:
    ‘My nerve endings are stretched
    and entwined into an intricate
    pattern of macrame-knotted pain’.

  9. I can think of so many scenarios that could have inspired these words.
    I really liked this…” entwined into an intricate pattern of macrame-knotted pain”
