Enemy-centered

Transition
stone tablets to leaves, to paper -silent witnesses to history in a state of decay giving way to mutable backgrounds alterable at will -to redefine context prove your truth screens instill hope history will neither support nor oppose -just transform to suit the future Written for dVerse Quadrille #148 - Papered Poems
Savageness
holding a face very familiar in my hands I feel apprehensive of what I will encounter behind the known mask rawness of emotion is so scary -I don another mask to counter savageness of the real, untested you and me https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/2022/03/21/what-do-you-see-126-march-21st-2022/

And happiness last as long as it can
