A sense of putrid disgust fills the air,

a door in the air no one saw

Wit wonders why?
Glimpse gutsy gain,
Style sanguine sigh.

The Tales of Throng...Thy songs oh throng,
Scattered as litters on the floor:
Thy message without language,
Shattered by the wind, faint and poor.

tucked it away for the sun
to give light and shine

from these tired and ruined hands.

her husband, her children, her pups and kitty.
