Nobody's ball of fur
One morning she woke up
and her air was clear
no man smell...
no lurching in her chest
just silky licks of peace
up one side and down
the other of her soul
The wild tangles
in her hair gone...
her brain free
waving like colorful scarves
She stretched her body
languidly like a cat and
and rubbed up against herself
and hissssssssssed
Shaking him out
of her fur
she coughed and
sent the hairball to hell
Swishing her tail
claws retracted
she rested
waited....

It's very vivid.....I really like this.
