Response Ability
I would do anything
To trade places with that image
That I had in my head that I can’t write down
What I was told
What I heard
Left me speechless
And at the time words were essential
They should have been words of joy
Encouragement
Celebration
Rejuvenation. Congratulation
Friday the 13th
We were still shouting at each other when I opened the champagne
