Chasing ghosts from the darkness
into the bright light, of the day
Skeletons in the closet
with nothing good, left to say
What happened in Vegas
will soon be on the front page
Secrets are fruitless
people will say what they say
If its dirt, they white glove it
Mr clean’s on the way
If it’s yours they will covet
your secret secretly pays
The only way to save face
is to simply behave
There are prices to pay
for the games that you play
So dress that skeleton up
take it out for some dinner
Or look the other way
and be run through the ringer

Rachel Reviews: The Spiral Archive by Pieter Hendrik
It's difficult for me to know where to start with a review of this book as it was, for me, an entirely unique experience and one that I'll probably never have again. I don't want that to be interpreted as unenjoyable but it has left me scratching my head a little and ruminating on its content, its themes and its characters.

Loved this. (Loved the dusty one as well, btw.) When I saw the picture, all I could think was, "Won't you be my neighbor?" I wonder what skeletons Mr. Rogers had in his closet (or if he was completely solicitous in taking them out & making them public).
Take the skeleton 💀 out for Dinner 😆👍❤️💯😍Great piece❗
Magnificent slam poem!!! Loved it, Kelli!!!❤️❤️💕
