The things a person will murder in order to name--Barbara Kingsolver
I read this in her poem "Nature of Objects" and thought
The things that will be murdered inside a teacher to collect data.
And yes, I know this has been going on a long time.
And now here I stand, the victim of the latest murder.
Bleeding inside.
So much I cry on a whim.
Because my life was supposed to be about this. Retirement was not even a word I related to.
But when someone looks you in the eye and says just go along, be positive...twisting of the knife with a smile.
Now, instead of knowing I get to enjoy my career for many more years, I'm just trying to get through the marathon of each day, while not letting my health go south.
What once felt sure is now uncertain.
How will I make it to the end?
