She thinned to vapour, blue as longing's edge, while we searched skywards, calling her lost name. Wind replied in whispers no one could catch– just hollow notes strung on a frayed thread. Now dusk repeats her gesture: palms upturned, spilling light where her shadow once poured. We drink the rain, still tasting her farewell. ...

(Verse 1) This empty room still hums your favorite song, Sunlight cuts the dust where your laugh belonged. I trace the cracks in every worn-out tile, Searching for your shadow one more mile. (Chorus) **I can still feel you like a phantom limb—** A ghost in every room,...

I wake to choices, mine to make, No predetermined path to walk, No scripted lines I have to talk. This Fourth of July I celebrate Not just a nation's founding date, But my own revolution won The day I chose to be someone The neighbors whisper, "Strange," they say, "Why live so differently this way?"

We’ll watch a Netflix series Where we’re...

Oh Liza, dear Liza. My plane’s going down. I’m somewhere over the Pacific, but there's nobody around. Nobody to watch as this hunk of metal falls No one to weep as these blaring alarms stall.

They treated me for bipolar disorder. I wanted you to know. Although the doctors later said it was the Adipex-p and weed mimicking an up-and-down disease— it hasn’t happened since. I still think it was more than that. Hard to believe it’s been more than twenty years— that fourth of July, when I read your mind at the Washington Mall, and ran off...

June Bug, do you remember me? Understand, I'm older now, you see. No longer do I visit Grandpa with my brothers. Every fourth of July, you too, came with many others. Both of us came to play - beneath the fireworks display. United again, I recall you never flew so well. Give us another fourth, and we will give 'em hell....
