Date Night

Tovli's Ten

Candles, wrought iron;
her history stumbles out.
Thinking in past-tense she wants to ask
"Which part of this story was relevant?"
"How did I worm out of owning my life?"
Instead she returns to being fine-dined,
bread dripping in oil.

I agree with Tovli. A very creative use of the "10".

I like this. It has a real charm and has the potential of exploding into a really nice micro-fiction piece. thanks for submitting it. tovli

Thanks for the review. I have never submitted anything publicly before. Of course I am thinking of an edit! Or maybe growing it into that micro-fiction piece.
