      Exhaling

      Dec 7, 2021

      Around me are fifty or so men, in whose company I will sit and be silent for ten days. I eye them discreetly, wondering who among them is going through a crisis. Who, like me, has a family. Who’s single, who’s been dumped, who’s poor or unhappy. Who’

      It’s soothing when the newly dead are way older than I am. This guy was 95. His picture—middle-aged, archaic glasses—freezes him somewhere around 1970. But even when they are my age and live in my town and share so many of my habits and interests tha

      Summer Playlist: Beyond the Cyclical

      -J.L.S.

      Not to be taken lightly,

      How do you find this

      Being trying to take over

      Your body with its wicked

      Ways?

      It seems like the only way you

      Can coax it out is with

      Song and unnatural

      Movement.

      No one else would dare

      Interfere with you then, except

      For the music which strives to

      Drive it out and save all

      Which you hold precious.

      3/31/14

      Peace at last—peace from

      Whatever was holding you

      Back.

      No one seemed to understand

      Why you would leave behind

      Such a life, but those

      Closest to you know that

      You had to get away.

      Head cleansed from the

      Clean air; you felt like a

      Child again.

      After all, that is what you

      Wanted, a fresh start with

      No one questioning your

      Actions.

      Time now to look back and

      Forget all which you
