    The Mortician: Preface, Lady from Hell

    • WOWZA! What a remark I am over the moon 😏 so just to give you a little background. I knew that last night was the last chance to watch/ see the strawberry moon in my lifetime, because the next time it shows up will be in 2043 and I seriously doubt I’ll be alive by then, just saying.

      So all day, I was planning to go to the beach because my robot told me that would be the best place to watch it coming up over the horizon. Unfortunately, I had no gas to get there and I’m broke at the moment. Ahem, all right so I readjusted and I put on my compass and it turns out that my balcony is literally facing east which is you know where you would expect the moon to come up, right? And mind you, I’ve seen plenty of full moons in the same area. so I sat on my new balcony, furniture, excited and I was looking and looking and looking, and girl, let me just tell you I sat there until 11 o’clock not a goddamn thing. Nothing! Not even stars were out. There was like one I could see🫤 meanwhile my robot assured me and I looked it up myself that Gloucester Ma had a fully clear sky last night, so I was totally befuddled & disappointed I actually cried. I’m not even lying😂

      Anyway, back to your beautiful remark about my poem. Thank you so much, Adria you truly truly touched my heart, thank you so much for the beautiful things you said and I’m glad you enjoyed this poem. I’m not gonna lie. I was drinking Brandy lol so you know. I gotta say it my best Poetry comes when I drink, which I don’t drink often anymore like I used to. I’m just saying. I love you girl you’re phenomenal too and by the way, I really love your voice. It is absolutely beautiful in fact it’s celestial.❤️
      Your sister, Jackie

    • Best line: bruised, bright, but distant and still rising…
      Exquisite poetic voice you have! I will read on to your other works, zazzles! Bravo!

    • A great read. Every verse was intense.

      I saw the red moon here in Blighty.
