I saw Macbeth today

Our play

With newly shaped eyes and enough distance from your love to enjoy it

Appreciate it

Respect it again

I watched every second

Hung on every word

Sat still despite the movement in my mind

With one broken lover on stage

Another five people to my left

And you as you have always been

Tucked in the recesses of my heart

I sat still

Watched every second

And I wanted to wash you from my memory like Duncan’s blood from Lady Macbeth’s hands

But the spot remains

A stain upon my womb

Scars where our fetus broke lose

I saw Macbeth today

"free"

OMG!!! This one also goes in recommened reads!!! I first read it at work and that was the end of my reading for the night! I was distracted all night!!!

BTW, you are absolutely right in fretting over the wording. I can't saying which is best, though I have my preference, but the point of poetry is to pack the most potential into as few words as possible, so world selection is critical.
