Compensatory IllusionsA hierarchy of antecedents
an inverted pyramid or
joy that precedes heart break
and well wishes
tears that cascade after facts

on a Bunson burn
making sense of what...

A Cowboy's Last WillA Cowboy's Last Will
The old cowboy struggled for breath,
Heartbeat faint, his eyes set
He whispered softly before death -
