Little songbirds hop--
cats mesmerized, with flat ears,
sneaking toward the glass.

Unsung sawthistles
grow next to praised cousins on
weedy, verdant hills.

Another Pillow Test Fail

That rush of anger
makes sleep impossible.  Aaaannddd...
I'm up at midnight.

One tree on a hill,
green and alone in a sea
of weeds and flowers.

Clumsily she wrote

backwards C’s as a child.

through tears, all a blur.

Based on a True Story!

yet I'm crying anyway.
So embarrassing.
