Our love’s as strong as ever.

We won’t argue again;
This time it will work.
I knew she still loved me all along.
Angry words were empty words.
All that...

Poor Joan was only aged nineteen

has experienced
   the marvel
of a household of kids

   men
that I loved. And they feel no guilty

“Tear it or tear down”.

A limping ghost, the trauma's heavy share.
The lawyer's words, a hollow, broken plea,
Justice delayed, a cruel eternity.

One year, two years, the clock relentlessly ticks,
Three years of limbo, where the spirit breaks.
The plea bargain looms, a soul-crushing trade,
For...
