like when the sun's shards pierce through darkened clouds

[constantine]

at last, they're gone
just you and me binky
told you it would come down to this
but you wouldn't listen
would you?
no,
don't reach for the phone
it's too late for that now.
thaat's right
now that that's settled
it is time to
die
but then it hit me,
like when the sun's shards pierce through darkened clouds,
a revelation -
a touch of grace.
such exhilaration,
i have not known.
i turned,
and shot again

story time, dino

a little shard from my heart

when my daughter was about 2 yrs old

she had already tumbled to the fact

she already knew

that she had a binky and daddy had a binky too

one morning she took the belt out of my pants that were on the floor by my bed

and wrapped it around her arm

yes, shard in my heart

I never did that in front of a child again

i hear you. i've been through similar.
