Towering above a park far below
Sandboxes, swings, a merry-go-round
10th story window – stunning views
Blue Sky, Sandia Mountains to the East
A business deal; success beckoning in the room
He stood by my side – successful together
High heel shoes
Patent leather; fitted black slacks; red power blouse
Smiling, laughing, sensing the loss
How had I forgotten?
Panic, terror, spinning around, high heels tapping solid wood floors
Gripping his hand searching the room
10th story window – a park so far below
She is crying – baby fine blonde hair clinging to tear streaked face
Two years old; sand clinging to tiny hands
He is talking to her, smiling, reaching for her, sweeping her up
He is running; she is crying – “mommy, mommy, mommy!!!”
His car waits

Ludacris and Nelly draw backlash over bookings at MAGA-coded music festival
Ludacris and Nelly headlining a mostly right-wing event is good for them. It’s also great for the genre of hip hop. The two rap veterans have showcased their talents on other stages. Why can’t they perform for mostly MAGA folks and grab that bag?
