By Linda Burnett Covert glance. Late to leave. Mustn’t flinch. Mustn’t crack. Gone at last. Something’s off. He suspects. He must know. Almost done. Suitcase packed. Uber booked. Must keep cool. Landline rings. Checking up. No-one knows. Had enough. Make a break. Don’t look back. Pray I’m safe, won’t be tracked. #darkpoetsclub #smallspacedeepimpact #50wordchallenge

By Julie Shackman Wizened heart, Its black ash, Bleeding contradictions, Pomposity and entitlement, While I searched for answers, To why your narcissist poison, Tried to rob me of my optimism. Your dark deceit and river of lies, Stand testament to your foul soul, An ugly, twisted monument, Bathed in bitterness and resentment. #darkpoetsclub #smallspacedeepimpact #50wordchallenge
