climax of full-born wisdom,
contentment for and from all four directions
spread across sleeping hearts
of each nighttime regeneration.

From normalizing WestWind toward East colonializing

Troop ships loading, crowded docks
Mums and sisters waving off
Go with keepsakes, golden locks
Some men hug while many doff

But I had butterflies in my belly

I hated girls when...

With the phone call we all dread
“Mrs Palmer we regret to inform you
