my dear deviants
of sweet repore . . .
forgive me for
my tardy thank yous
i have read you all
and have been trying to
keep it light.
this week has been awful 
we lost a four-year old
member of my family
under suspicious circumstances.
i dislike my journals
to bleed personal
difficult information
but there is something
so very very wrong
about a tiny coffin.
i believe in life
of all things
especially
the small
and defenseless.
