Sad shutters hang on the bias abandoned,
Broken panes neglected as weather crept in
Still their silent voices call out with warmest hospitality.

Pride of Place
From the gilded frame adorably kept on the bureau

My Grandma so ebullient, a chirping sparrow
They became man...

I hate what I see
I hate what we’ve become
Squeeze the poorest on poor street

Seeing homeless soldiers on the street
The cash that I have I give
What the hell have we become...

jingle bells rocking the roof
critique by age eight
where is grandpa?
loud snoring leads us...

A pillowcase BackpackA pillowcase backpack, camping under the kitchen table.
Lost in imagination, deaf to strife.
In every way full of wonder of life.
Holed up in a couch cushion bunker.
Barefoot and bare chested.
Taking aim...

To see family lose their sense of might.

it hasn't rained in two weeks
the raindrops commit suicide on the window
as if they wanted to wash the goodbye signs

Foggy shadows of lives past

‘Membrances of dear, familiar faces and
Fragmented moments of...
