Been while since I've posted here. From my previous post you can now tell I am living in Mountain City, TN; the photos tell a lot but they don't tell how cold it is. Oh well. Snow snow snow. Thankfully the causation is from global warming; humidity from the gulf meeting the cold arctic air. Work is good. Love the job as I get to work with kids who need a lot of help. Only time will tell to where it leads. So it goes.

Silence
the shrill sound
of
silence creeps in
so loud
monotonous
it screams;
i hear my heart,
the over caffeinated
whir
the thumps
it produces
life is full of
seconds;
moments,
indelible fragility
as your mind attacks
itself
thoughts race each other
one wins
you fill the air with
noise
of toys,
what we do,
as no one can enjoy
the sound
so loud
reverberating
whispers ask us to increase to
volume
silence overcomes us

May 18th
Here is where my mother lies ash and all beneath the ground of pummeled dirt. I squint as the sun is bearing down on my eyes thus creating this tunnel of blurred vision. The name is there etched in the white stone along with the hundreds of gravestones of former veteran and their loved ones; my lips are pursed and my cheeks are shuttering as my jaw shakes. Hundreds of thoughts are running through my head, so unorganized that I can't latch onto one. I start my usual mumbling.
