Unread – 102 words

January 16, 2022 By Ellen

Lament for all the unread words. We bob on an ocean of instructions, appendices and contra-indications. As sterile as saline. Sentences curl around diagrams, lodged in folders, binders and on-line repositories, furiously punctuated for no one to see. Semi colons like silent trees falling in the forest.

Kisses – 104 words

January 4, 2022 By Ellen
