The house phone rang. “Aren’t you going to get that?” I asked. “Nah, it’s not a number I recognize,” he said as he glanced at the cordless landline on the coffee table in the living room. “If they want me, … Continue reading

Classroom Cemetery
Coffins nailed in our heart For the inhumanity That stalks us; Watching, Minds numbed We defend the value of life for an unborn child; Guns Tearing flesh, stopping hearts in mid inhale We lobby for expanded rights, Defending less the … Continue reading
