Blood in the Cut – K. Flay

It is a restless Eve. Angry, forceful… Aggravating… Everything. I am on edge tonight… Agitated, aggravated… Jump at every loud bang coming from the air outside. I don’t like the memes.

It’s an issue that has plagued me all my life. Homelessness… Those on the streets who, when services are denied, are then shuffled into non-existence. But they exist. They are still there.

It’s storming now thank God… I cannot bear this shit. This constant tragedy. This constant wishing for love that will never be. I can’t do much today but watch these old Westerns and think of you… How much I miss you. How much I wish I could crawl right into that grave with you… I … Read more

When surrounded by so much death, rather wistful. A long road. A hard and slow one… Someone will learn, somewhere… Tis a foul … Read moreDeath, Heart and War

Every Memorial Day I am reminded that people really do not seem to know what this day is for. Either that, or they know exactly what it is for and have chosen to observe it as if it were an old Irish wake… I don’t really know. I do know that our Memorial Day is … Read moreIn Memoriam…
