Silence with Barbara, I am left with leftovers of an
Intense burst of familiar quiet
Looking for her when my gut sounds like
Entropy, the gush of a private moment penetrated
Not finding her
Cuts me like a burst of our shared silence
Every single time I feel the weightless, dead water scream
My book The Half Paper Moon is here on Amazon 💝

Thoughts on Vocal and the way the world is
"Death cannot stop true love, only delay it." – Wesley in The Princess Bride. I decided to come back to Vocal on a very cold and dark night at the end of December. I had been, and still am, convalescing from a horrible staph infection that had gone misdiagnosed for months. This, paired with the increasing challenges of being healthy, making the best choices for my co-parented child, being a wife, and being a director at a new job, was a lot to manage.
