along quicksilver trails
thru the night
we tripped,
past the wall,
into the sky—
swallowed by infinity

A bit of this and that
The view from my front porch (in Pennsylvania) or back patio (in London) every morning, in tweet-sized bites
too much coffee, too little sleep, a love of words...

I’m fine thanks -you? We should catch up😀 I did comment on your beautiful paper planes poem too but it seems to have disappeared – so if you find a random plane related comment for a poem about something else you’ll know why🙄 😆

Infinity seems to perhaps like a magic place. Full of possibility. Not such a scary thing, this forever.

There are ups & downs like every person has. But often going through something hurtful & life altering to a degree, is for the best. I’m getting my own place & I’m-happy about it. My health is finally good enough to do that. It’s just under bad circumstances is all & more rushed than I planned. But I can deal 🙂 Hope your life is good too! I’m excited whenever I see your writing posts, no matter if they take me a few weeks to read. Cheers
