Being a leaf on the verge of falling all associations connected with the word "fall" come rushing to my mind. History boo  Read More...

My heart aches for another breeze to brush by me gently, My road of life is shaped by the curvaceous path of destiny, My dwelling is in every creek, in every cave by the mountain side, I don’t have a solitary who keeps my secrets, in whom I confide, I am not garlanded by pearls, I am adorned b  Read More...

“Argh fuck!!” I exclaim as I try to move the window off of its ledge. It won’t budge. Between reaching out to the window through the wooden plaques that were nailed to the wall and the rust in the frame, it was hard to move the window up.  It’s been like this for years.   Read More...
