Spent ten years beating back a mad-woman/girl conqueror hurricane….
It’s not easy to walk away, but I should have. Now I’ve spent ten good years getting beat up and beating back a mad-woman/girl conqueror hurricane, or better yet as Billy Bragg has written, “a little black cloud in a dress.” Last night was the last chapter. The final word. Later on today I’ll be calling her. It won’t even be face to face. Her things from my place will be boxed up with great ceremony — shipped off far from me, my self-respect, my future. I’m free, Miss! I’ll say loudly, with no regrets about that declaration.
