A special treat
A unique ‘do’

ENOUGH!

I felt deaf from the ‘noise’ of information,
constantly butting, buzzing against my mantra of:
“The quieter you are… the more you… hear!”

The Expert in Death

She reluctantly closed the book,
locking the painting back inside her mind,
then a sudden frisson of emotion,
