Your wife stood in her studio
a paintbrush in one hand
the pole of her IV stand in the other.
You remember how she stood that morning -
she wasnt wearing any shoes
-
She had her easel by the balcony doors
and she stared out into the woods beside your house.
not knowing you were watching she sat the brush down
and lifted a pair of scissors that she kept around
and cut off her long black
without even flinching
-
you gasped and she turned slowly to you
and as you fell to your knees
a tear slipped down her cheek
into an uneven smile on her mouth
and she laughed
that weak laugh you never wanted to hear.
-
and then she whispered
through the hospital green of her studio
"I'm taking control"
Continuation of the She Will Sleep saga...


the wife
the man
the child

This is poignant, sad, but to the point. Well done, I think you captured this scene beautifully.
