Poetry, Prose and Laughable Moments. November 16, 2015. November 16, 2015. And living blissfully ignorant. Every time I left the house. I saw the worry etched on my mother’s face. And I thought “how overprotective and foolish”. I used to say to her “when it’s my time, it’s my time. I’m not afraid to die.”. I don’t remember if I saw the hurt in her eyes then.

Poetry, Prose and Laughable Moments. Time is not enough. August 31, 2015. August 31, 2015. How can I laugh. How can I ever laugh again. Constricting time in on itself. Like a black hole. Sucking everything that’s good. And spitting back nothing. But bare as bone questions. Must I be the one. Must I be the one left. To mourn the departure. Time mocks and jeers:. Giving more of itself. When each moment is. To mend the broken pieces. From point to hilt. August 24, 2015. August 24, 2015. Tracing arcs of red.
