Fear is a Band-Aid
we slap over wounds,
trapping the pus
in a fold of cotton
to fester.
Between Seraph and Goose
I tried to sing with the choir today,
but my cat staged a rebellion.
Fear is a Band-Aid

A Western Fantasy to get your blood pumping
Capture Outlaw Blood by Noah J. Matthews from Amazon. This gritty, prosy novel might be the best book you read this year.

The World’s Mirror
Once upon a distant time
Somewhere in the reach of rhyme
As the flowing ages pass
The world was called a looking glass.

Pale gray clouds drift together,ย a thick batting blanketing the brain.ย Moisture collects, clots andย fractures into fractals that compile,ย weighing down the mind and heart and soul until the sweet release of heaven comes raining down…
This little poem is so true and eye opening!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Nicole!
Excellent picture! Then you can add: Each successive Band-Aid just gets bigger.
I love the picture they used too!
Wow, so simple and profound.
Short yet SO poignant. Thank you for sharing this!
