Laugh Abandoned

Image
By

You used to laugh 

with abandon

With me

Around me 

Throw your head back

Mouth open

Hazel green eyes 

closed

I don’t experience 

that

Anymore

I have to believe

You still do

But I am no longer

In the privileged circle

The pictures I have

Of your laugh

Of your beautiful

Beautiful smile

Hurt me

MVP

River of Gone Words

By
 Another trek to the river of Gone Words Another sack of snap-backs One more time of packing it down To throw in and be forgot Another bunch of words not said Another expression stillborn on my tongue One more bouquet of complaints Tossed into the River of Gone Words Another wish sent to drown Another desire to let go One more urn of the unspoken Sacrificed to River of Gone Words This is safer ​ This is best These are better left unexpressed

My choice for our next book

By
We have a loose rule that everyone in the club gets to choose a book for us all to read. We're in agreement to read it - or some of it, even if we don't like it.  It's my turn!  I just ordered my copy on Amazon and I can't wait to get started. I hope y'all like this book. Sophie Strand is an amazing human being (thanks to Corinne for telling me about her). This book is hot off the press.
