    • hello beautiful Fia I am guilty of building walls I started doing it when I was a child really now it happens without me thinking and my personality just shifts…I feel your pain beautiful expression❤️

    • Chère F.,
      My good intentions solution would be:
      Choose someone who whispers in your ear how good you are how talented and how beautiful.

      When the balance shifts, build wall to keep the good feelings in. And you’ll be as OK as I see you. And let me tell you a little surprise: I’m not the only one who can’t wait to tell you.
      Believe me!
      Warmest greetings, Gus

      • Thank you Gus, I needed to hear that;))

        • Maybe so, dear F.
          But you so very much deserve it!
          I send or sent (what do I know) love from a small tent in the south of France.
          And the more I share it, the richer I feel.
          Warmest greetings, Gus

    • Excellent way to explain why walls are built, and then they wonder why they are so scared.
      Nicely penned.

    Endings and Beginnings

    It was April 28th, a Tuesday, situated
    two days closer to May. Something
    unclear, vague, shifted just beyond
    my sight.

    Perhaps it was my over worked
    imagination, a mind focused
    entirely on the abstraction of
    reality, or the discord of a
    symphony that was playing
    in my head.

    Perhaps it was due to…Read More

    Depends What Matters…

    I don’t know if it’s a society thing…
    or what
    but this standard that directs us to follow a specified path
    you meet…you marry…pop out a few kids
    never forgetting the coveted white picket fence

    I have a question…
    what if that pattern…
    isn’t really one size fits all…

    I think of all the miserable…Read More

    • Hi Willow, you have packed a lot into your poem. At its heart is the recognition of individuality, as opposed to individualism. We arrive in many different shapes and colors as well as temperaments. For me, it is a social matter, the traditions that arise out of society based on oppression, of class and social distinction and hierarchy, that…Read More

      • I fear that we’re rapidly approaching that time when women and those of color have few rights again. The number of bumper stickers I’ve seen with “Make women property again” make me sick. And this country is terrifying me more every day. It’s time for big change indeed. Thank you, Curt

  • The House Where the World’s Bugs Gather

    April 28th arrives
    as an infested house,
    a structure trembling
    under the soft, relentless weight
    of everything that crawls,
    buzzes,
    flutters,
    or insists on existing
    in the cracks of the world.

    It is not one kind of bug.
    It is all bugs,
    every species the ending world
    has ever whispered into b…Read More
