There are many ghosts in my life. Not the television or movie ghosts. Sadly, many dear ones have passed. And, there are also regrets. Even though we tell ourselves we don’t want to live with regrets. We all have them. The worst part of realizing that there are […]
Palms rise to the universe as we moonshine and mollyFeel the warmth, we’ll never die, we’re like diamonds in the skyYou’re a shooting 6 see, a vision of ecstasy It’s been a long day here. Cleaning out storage space, filling up bins for pickup. Finding long-forgotten gems. Telling […]
Can I be obnoxious? Can I be snide? Can I be funny? Can I make jokes? Can I be ok? Can I heal and break? Can I move forward and stay in the present? Can I add snark to my cereal? Can I be more than sadness? Can […]
