Sweet, sweet, or: Silence

A kyrielle I drop her off and collect her; Daily, you can see us walking; For me, all our walks are a blur... My daughter's just non-stop talking! I have given up on thinking; Her voice my every thought's blocking; Feels like waking after drinking... My daughter's just non-stop talking! I love her more than… Continue reading Sweet, sweet, or: Silence

New Year’s, or: Reality

A kyrielle Every year, there's a New Year; and People make commitments to change That oft blow away like soft sands... Then we do it again - ain't it strange?
