Restitution: And the People Said Amen…

My wish tonight is for everything
to become upside right
again
instead of inside out
and tumbled like weeds
that is where

are not horses and cows
are not sheep and monkeys [...]

Ashland, Oregon… you Silly Rabbit…

My dog and I were relieved to be heading to cooler climes especially since we’d been on the road for awhile. We had [...]
