something else


I know I don't need this 
poem at the end of the day
go ahead, tell me, I'll listen

frown/yawn/warn at this 
sorry summary of the day 
go ahead, tell me, I'll listen

say I should forget all this 
as I look away... every day
go ahead, tell me, I'll listen

hush-shout me, for you have
a wounded song of your own
go ahead... tell me... I'll listen

Is it a festival for butterflies?

Thank you, StephLove.

Gillian--Yes, for the Monarchs.

the last supper

There are thirteen of us at the table. But just our awesome, regular selves. (No Jesuses or Judases.) Headed for home come morning! At least...
