Forever, our love lingers in the air all around -
The smell of fresh paint lingers in my nose, in the air.
Crisp sheets lay smooth untouched with hospital corners.
I dreamt I held you in our bed.

Black lives matter. Me too.
Not my president. Give peace a chance.
Luck runs out. I like immigrants. 
Power must be challenged by power.

waiting and thinking. 
Really going crazy,

The smell of fresh paint lingers
in my nose, in the air.
Crisp sheets lay smooth,
untouched with 
hospital corners.

in our bed.
A king size bed is too big for one.
Wedding gifts are strewn across

Blond hair, blue eyed from heaven above

Bright. happy, inquisitive, full...
