(a university-life vignette) It’s Saturday morning at about 9am. I’m in the chemistry lab, a sterile looking room with 12 workstations that are like multi level kitchen islands with sinks and various lab gear.

“Ashes to ashes, dust to dust”, The minister intoned, dismissing us. Embraced and patted, pitying looks from all. Letting go of my rose, the last to fall. Thorns pricked my finger, a drop of blood dripped down… … in the hole where mother's body is buried in the ground. The grown ups seem to know exactly what to do. But I...

He sneaked his way into the Lecture Hall like a thief, His greetings were brief, Glancing around the room with a friendly smile, he then rested a long gaze upon her face, She felt uneasy and thought he might be in the wrong place. A while later, he boldly slipped a note into her hand, with a one-eyed wink, Reading it...

Behind a fence were piles of leaves The trees had lately shed And as I passed, my eye picked up A flash of something red.
