A Few Days After She Fled
Sheree La Puma

Thanks so much. 🙏

A very dear friend of mine is in the process of leaving this world right now and I can barely breathe. My grief is overwhelming. She wouldn't want me to feel this way. She's been an incredible teacher and a brave and beautiful leader. She's taught me how to LIVE with my own cancer. 🥹

Thanks so much, John. 🙏

slavering over sex. Here is the cake I made for you. The key to life is in the box in the corner.

Infinite & lonely, like a second life.

I think of the kid that jumped, rooftop, Santa Monica Place Mall.

I'd tell him how a mirror shatters. How we bleed & bleed until there is nothing left.

Help me to understand why a body poisons itself. You crave the delicate secret blessings,

If you ignore the stems, the edges of leaves, toxins that act as a defense mechanism...

If you dug up earth to excavate soil, unearthed roots, disloyal in their slow

creep towards death. If you gave up men, complicit in those acts of yearning...

Would you plant the seeds God gave to you?

I haven't had a chance to share my Pushcart nominated poem. I want to thank the Santa Fe Literary Review for this wonderful honor. 🙏

IF YOU SKIPPED ONE COFFEE A DAY

Or wine, red that slips wantonly between your lips like nectar on a flower petal...

Thanks so much, Gloria.

This little girl had a 6:30 am beauty appt. It was well worth it. Such a cutie. #Minigoldendoodle #ADogNamedJill

That should say nominated! Why does spell check change words on my phone? 🥹😳

The Santa Fe Literary Review just donated my poem, "If You Skipped One Coffee A Day" for the Pushcart. 🥹🙏🩷 I am over the moon and filled with gratitude. Good luck to the other nominees Fadairo, Liz, Christine, Susan and Michael. A big thanks to Faculty Advisor and Editor in Chief, Kate McCahill. 🙏

Thank you, Gloria. 🙏
