I wasn't sure what KINTSUGI was so I looked it up, actually I have heard of the concept but I did not know that was the word. A good analogy to use in your poem

I actually did not guess she was going to another state to get an abortion, but now you have said that I get it!

Thanks Bri!! The Jojo here is made up, but there's definitely a Loretta in my apartment building I used as partial inspiration.

In response to "She's Leaving Behind"

Thanks so much for the kind words, Jenny! Yeah, it's set in the American south, where states are trying to ban abortions and make it a crime to travel to another state to get one. This activity has been a lot of fun.

I love this Version of "She's leaving Home" - When I was a kid my Mum used to play the Sgt Pepper album and I loved this one, I like the way you have set it in America (Greyhound?) To make it a bit different. It tells a story and flows well. You have written some great poems for this competition!

Well, I know a herbal remedy or two...or some physical activity
that might do, might do.
Hugs and chin up.
We of the great order of wokeness will win in the end.
Just ait, around the bend,
even those Repubs bubs will see
throught the orange hate and glee

Let Down Again

It's not you; never was.
It's me. I'm always in love
with a love that stays in my head.
I can't seem to make the words
do their simple things and
introduce myself.
My eyes avert on their own.
I turn into an internal,
inescapable tension.
And I don't want to just
know you. I want to share
secrets and dreams and escapes.
Your very last set of firsts.
But it's me; always was.
Even if the only thing
stopping us from being
a capital U-S us
is me, I still wouldn't be able
to get out of my own way.
Imagine me, saying
everything in this
entire poem, but in the
five or ten seconds it takes
when we pass each other.
Why am I always the one
to let myself down?
It's the only love I've known
to last forever, and it's
the longest-lasting love
in my past.
