I finally slept as I needed to I couldn’t keep it away No dance could lift my body No words could soothe the aches I let my head land on the pillow I buried myself deep under the covers I kept all thoughts at bay I swallowed the […]
I don’t know what is the color of pettiness. I know green is envy but everything else is a crapshoot. Or so it seems to me. The color red can be anger and it can be love. Perhaps both simultaneously. I’m fascinated as to how certain colors come […]
During the last two weeks, I have been doing something I have not done my whole life. I have been setting my alarm clock. But more than that, I have been waking up to my alarm clock. I have never done that before. I have always been […]
