Purple Hearts The night my 87-year-old great grandmother died she was coming home from a date, but wet pavement and impractical shoes, a broken hip, a body in shock, a passing. The first time I ever heard the word slut it kettle-steam-slipped from between the plastic pearl veneers of my aunt Delores as a procession of antique soldiers in their dressiest dress blues from the VFW, where my mamaw gave out warm plates and warmer hands to troops of empty-housed men, filed one after another dropping the contents of their left breast pockets into the box where my grandmother lay beautiful in too much rouge, delicate like some ancient corsage and I decided that someday I want to be a slut, just like Grandma, and be sent up to glory on a parade of grateful, unlonelied hearts.
One of our favorite poems - in honor of National Poetry Month.
From "Purple Hearts" by Rachel Wiley in her book Fat Girl Finish School.

Seems a good plan for 2025 ->
“Homesick, A Plea for our Planet,” by the incomparable Andrea Gibson.
I hope you’ll take a few minutes to absorb this beautiful love song to the home we all share.

"Imagine the darkness is a cave in which you will be nurtured by doing absolutely nothing. Hibernating animals don’t even dream. It’s okay if you can’t imagine spring."
