The Gift
I learned that butchering purity is ungodly,
yet on the silver platter, I see a snow lamb as fired slabs. -
Change and I
When I am furious with Change, I berate it;
“I am tired of your unrelenting beatings,
tired of your latency, then rapidity,
tired of your inconsistency, no warnings.” -
I Know I Will Live (on to 18)
The kitchen will be used.
The pantry will be emptied
and then promptly refilled.
My pillow will be creased,
