    About this ebook

    The Old Couple
    I walk through the park almost every day
    And see many things as I go on my way
    Often I see this old gentleman holding his wifes hand
    They look at each other with a glance they understand
    They sit by the lake and feed the birds and ducks
    Occasionally smiling and giving their knowing looks
    What a wonderful sight to see love so true
    It brightens the day and fills your own heart too.

      May 20, 2019

      Yours is the first face I saw when I came into the world. At first, I was scared. It was so cold and bright. But then I heard your voice. I remembered it immediately — warm, deep and comforting. I didn’t expect you to be so big. My whole body fits in

      It is a squalid time. The body grows tired of being a body. Sweat. Always. A thin film of it on the skin. Do not say dewy. Do not say glisten. I dream of endless green. Of wet. Of rain hammering the Earth. Of buds sprouting. I want to insist on life
