Burned to a crispy shell,
one organ functioning:
Thoom-Tomb! Thoom -

Curious people:
Walking contradictions, we.
Lovingly written.

Struggle to live true.
Mother, wife, or feminist?
Wright or wrong, she loved.

How often have I
wandered midnight labyrinths
convinced I was right?

Horrors in the land.
Chasing shadow sets you free.
What is your true name?

Drowned nuns! Shipwreck! Yet
Reads like wikipedia.
without cool links. Damn.

Who changed: him or me?
I used to love his writing!
Sadly, no more. Next!

Can we grow beyond?
Destiny and fate play cards
“Early death?” “Go fish.”

Boy loves Dad; Dad loves …
Amidst felled trees, they bond in
A gorgeous sadness

#1

grief and love slow-dance
through the Carolina dirt
candles on a cake

#2

sweet, homespun wisdom
almost too precious, yet:
Best. Ending. Ever.
