Of Blood and Hurricanes
Where’s the limit?
Where’s the line?
Thirty plus years, and
You never found the time.
But now? With catastrophe,
Suddenly, we’re family.
“Blood means something”

I don’t want to turn to you,
Bent on bruised knees,
Hands bound in prayer,
Pushed by a scare,
For wisdom you can’t provide
As I hide behind the wrong questions,
Cryptic statements, and acceptable lies. Continue reading “Misplaced Missive #67 – Answers”
