To a wretched land of lochs and glens.
Where a village was tasked and the people fraught
At the woe and sadness life could send.

Leaning slightly towards where the light tapered off into darkness
Her faced buried deep inside her cupped hands 
Her own shadow towered over her seemingly at odds with her...

How I loved those Wednesday evenings, 
The games, the pomp and seriousness of the camps,

Mary was a virgin girl:
With big dreams and aspirations!

Morning. Pool party full force. 
Everybody busy all seemed fine.
Damian stayed close to Molly and

He knew not what to do when and why,

Perhaps immigration is our big US national anxiety
because we don't know how to unilaterally abort
cancerous growth of matricide.
