my brother’s birthday
is it solstice yet
in the UK?
In your mother’s house
Your sisters are still laughing
Picture fades to red
time
fluttering in my hands
the butterfly
Withered reeds
quiver in the evening wind…
a farewell kiss
the time is exactly 6:15
friend enters home & sees
the picture on the wall !
therapy session—
winding down that torturous road
Please delete 1st entry em dash error
tick tock time passes
waits for no one
carpe diem
time we spent
together
embroidered gift
