Exhaustion tore through one afternoon
The gravity of the couch
Pulled me deep into cushions
As though to hold together
Pieces of my Self
Which life’s winds shook loose
and made to rattle,
Sounding like harsh words
And anger
Which you hope to soothe with tea
For love is kind
About the Creator

My collection of sometimes decent writing
Which I've left "there" for seekers to seek
Though I lack the grandeur of that Pirate King
Perhaps these pebbles can be a light
In this life, this laughing tale

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.

Beautiful, deeply feeling work, Judah!
Beautifully eloquent… I especially like: “ As though to hold together Pieces of my Self Which life’s winds shook loose and made to rattle,”✅
This poem is beautifully written. The gentle turn to tea and love as a soothing balm – it's a perfect expression of comfort and care. "For love is kind" – such a simple yet profound statement. This piece is both moving and beautifully crafted.👍✨
