A harrowing drive on the Schuylkill Expressway
(route 76) both heading into
(and a small number of hours later
exiting) center city Philadelphia

some resembling Indigo Girls,

unable to...

Shayna Punim - You came a long way baby!

Though negligible communication
now transpires between us
twenty seven years ago
come February fourth,
two thousand and twenty five,
our lives (affecting yours truly

a caring older sister)
irrevocably...

I could not do what you are mandated to do
every day on society's justice bench,
weighing retributive justice 
against restorative healing.

I cannot look with any comfort
at police
and correction officers'

and courtroom injudicious levying of fines
against...

You had that future retro look:  two thousand seventeen,
There was a slow and sultry permanence, a little slouchy lean

How many more times
at deaths door ???

From the abortionist hook, I did escape.
Escape from, seems to have become my fate.

Death, around my body fell.
Grandfather, pulled me from the well.

Fell through the basement, trap door.
Straight down...

It's hard to believe it has been nine years
since my brother delivered each box.

mysteries and memories to unlock.
 
My Dad had lived a mostly happy life,
and I remember him...

Poetic paean to papa's princess

Otherwise titled:
Mien wonderful wedded divine wife....,

I’m just twenty seven

Two toddlers, never married
Two fathers, my life far too harried

I often wonder if I’m...

My face turning red.

I was sad, you were drunk,

Our relationship was dead.

You were out partying,

Whilst your family was at home.

I felt so alone?

Your dinner was on the...
