#Pressure on the wound
A tourniquet on a limb
Both stanch the bleeding
A vivid call to action
Save the body politic

To my peeps,
I'm still here, I still remember you, and I am missing you.
I also still can't see right, hence my inactivity on screens.

what’s left of the soft breeze

from my sick window
a cloud passes, as time does
our silent wind chimes

This entrenched position
I got myself locked into
without thinking things through
(which I too often tend to do)
is beginning to disintegrate
My hard line intransigence
now blowing back in my face
as the relentless forces of truth
lay waste to played out arguments
How to exit this pit gracefully
with even a shred of dignity
is not gonna be easy
for #modesty challenged me
in this social media communications age
where every rant pronouncement
is recorded permanently...
Guess it's best to take the hit
and acknowledge before the congregation
that I am full of shit

Our last #photo session,
Before you went to heaven,
2 years after,
Still crying seeing your picture.
No more howls of excitement,
Celebrating our moments,
My being’s still on ice,
Frozen and paralyzed.
Fire’s burning,
Ice is not melting,
One more winter,
Maybe I’ll thaw in summer!

“This is a beautiful garden,” said the bumblebee.
“Thanks. You’re the first one to notice,” said the dragon. “So many stupid knights pass through here and see nothing but the cave up top.”
“Do they come threaten you?”
“Not me, my wife. But don’t worry, she can handle them. She’s pretty scary.”
“Is that why you took up gardening?”
“Let’s just say I like my peace and quiet.”
