Bluebells by your grave.
So sudden, blue like your eyes.
I can hardly breathe.

I like to browse older work and came to your page. I really love this piece. I really feel it. A connection, but then reading it again, a grief.
Hi Kp - Just had to reach-back to this piece and comment on how lovely this is: Tomorrow I'm publishing a story that I sketched - "Eyes" - re; our blue eyes. btw; you do have a way of coining words - so cool! j-bud.in.l.a.
Oh I felt this 😢
