Sand in your birthday cake?

Tuesday, May 27, 2025. It's Tiw's day . . . An overcast day in TulseyTown. The weatherfeather – unreliable as it has been this past month – indicates there is a slight chance of a rain shower. Winds light and variable. Low 70's

Sand in your shoes?

Leaky patio door,

one troll call too many

from some body-less

entity trying to make a buck

out of nothing?

Neighbor noise?

Nagging memories

insisting on taking up

all the now space

like radio static

bouncing off a crashing

satellite headed for your

back porch? Pen out of ink

and can't find your journal anyway?

Love,

love is all we have –

love is all there is.
