don't look back too hard...

it might be better
not to remember
all of what used to be.
that might make now
a bumpier road and
uglier than it needs to be.

 

baby, honey, sweetie, love...

 Happy Valentine's Day...

 

Good books...

 

I love
all her books.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My new favorite.

Sister...

14 years is a long time
to be sick
tired
in pain
homebound for the most part
missing freedom
friends
family
afraid not to continue hoping
for healing
struggling every day
just to live
just to be.
she cries
my heart breaks. 

 

in its place...

I present myself
without any intention
of presenting myself
in any particular
recognizable way.
I want my words
to be in the light
 myself in shadow.
