Dr
Jekyl and Mr. Hyde
She was
married to him, once.
She saw her life pouring out as he filled his
glass yet again.
Again, she retreated with the
dogs, away from their home,
checking the packed bag kept in her car,
spending the night in the front seat, with the
dogs in back.
For years after he quit drinking, when he stayed
out late,
she trembled in her bed, not knowing who would
come home.

Sometimes poems briefly written down in a moment of emotion,
can be expanded or combined with other ideas for writing. The
second line of the above came first, and the title and first line came
years later, and were used together to good effect, I think. See
more of my Abstract Art by clicking the link.
