you and me
practice makes perfect
some things never change
dear witches of the hood
secrets must be kept
soul sucked right out of her
gone, all too soon.
for in the street of the sky, night walks, scattering poems
mystifying, the way trees hold it
the grand finale, deep muscle massage
Signed: sunshine in my soul. Helen.
