Strong Woman, an affirmation #haiku

You are a goddess
Walking softly for others
No longer.

(If the last line feels empty
Consider it instead
a space -- for you)

"#Hitman is sexist," my date complains as she adjusts the scope.

"I agree." I tuck a glass vial back between my breasts as she turns and gestures for me to look through. "Yes, that's him."

She squeezes the trigger and stows her gun.

I hand her a glass. "Wine?"

@DzintraSullivan Laundromat chic 😆

I run a fresh-sharp razor down my legs and slip into an old blue dress you loved once, before we understood bitter victories. Makeup hides how tired I am of drinking poison and waiting for you to die. I smile and fasten my new thigh holster.

Our anniversary #finale.

@odlunar @sara_bushway I agree with this - I use said as the default and bring in other tags only if it does some meaningful work for me. Example: I once replaced a single "she said" with "she lied" early in a conversation between two characters - it really changed the tone of the whole scene!
