The Safe Distance Silence

~ A silence abounds,  when we make our rounds, my two dogs and I on our walks.   There are houses with spouses, singles, and what-nots. They don’t wave, they won’t smile, nor talk.   This silence astounds on these daily done rounds, it’s the sounds of a safe distance silence.   Some cut-level looks, non-verbal […] Continue reading

Sacre-Doted Children

…. Once, we were soldiers, Boys of eighteen; Intrepid and stupid, One just sixteen. Some were rock stolid, Caught-up in fraught; In rightness of action, Righteous, we thought. We were the children Of the Great War Our fathers had fought in, So there’d be no more. Dearer to children, O Lord! Give us pause – […] Continue reading
