hides it in the leather pouch
left by the mother
who gave her heart
to too many
too easily
then died alone
in an abondoned pickup
out on highway 43

About Me
- smartz
- In my life I've waited tables, raised sons, taught school, published books, and railed at politicians. I'm building a house, next to my son, where I can spend time with my granddaughter. I read, write, and dream about being immortal.
