Good News?
I looked at her in wonder.
“You mean…?”
She nodded slowly, watching me closely.
“That’s, that’s… wow!”
She smiled weakly, hoping for the best.
“So you’re okay with it?”
“Okay with it? Baby, I’m speechless! You mean that you and me… together we…?”
She nodded again, still watching me.
“Wow!”

The Colours of My Mind
I closed my eyes and the colours of my mind began to move. They danced and swirled, whirling and twirling together.
Eventually, they formed that face. That perfect, enchanting face.
Thousands of miles and hundreds of days are between us, but I still can’t get you out of my mind.

Welcome to Texas
His heart thundered as the jeep rolled past, only a few feet from where he crouched.
Maybe this time they would not stop.
Maybe this time they would not have dogs.
Maybe this time he would make it.
The taillights disappeared and he stole silently into the land of opportunity.

Saying Goodbye

Finally I said goodnight, put down the phone.
Looked at my mother and she nodded approvingly.
Divorce is a painful thing, disowning someone can be crushing! But both?
