mrs midas Flashcards
nice kitchen scene
steamy breath gently blanched the windows
pear turns to gold
sat in his palm like a lightbulb. on.
her question shows her disbelief of what is happening in the garden
is he putting fairy lights in the tree
she’s becomes shocked
what in the name of God is going on?
gold teeth
within seconds he was spitting out the teeth of the rich
she is scared while pouring the wine
i poured with a shaking hand
transition of his cup
glass, goblet, golden chalice, drank.
she shouts in fear
i started to scream
sit away
i made him sit on the other side of the room and keep his hands to himself
hiding certain objects (humorous)
i locked the cat in the cellar. i moved the phone. the toilet i didn’t mind.
humorous about giving up unhealthy habit
at least, i said, you’ll be able to give up smoking for good
sleep in different places
separate beds
locks herself away
i put a chair against my door, near petrified
kiss would kill her
but now i feared his honeyed embrace, the kiss that would turn my lips to a work of art
gold doesn’t resolve real problems
it feeds no one
he was kicked out the house
so he had to move out
she is embarassed
the women who married the fool
selfish
what gets me now is not the idiocy or greed but lack of thought for me. pure selfishness
she misses his touch
i miss most, even now, his hands, his warm hands on my skin, his touch
