I Wonder...

--if the slush pile of grant proposals at the National Institutes of Health is deeper than the stacks of manuscripts in agents' offices

--if the man passed out in his own vomit on this morning's metro received medical attention

--what the woman in the fur-lined parka was screaming in the alley

--why the tornado only took trees and not lives

--why we marginalize our mentally ill to the streets

--how to keep grace alive

Just wondering... Peace, Linda

No words are adequate

Poetry sometimes inspires prose, or vice versa... words spun from mourning my friend appear this day at SIX SENTENCES

Also found out a drabble* of mine is accepted into Boston Literary Magazine's Best of Boston Chapbook and will appear online in June.

Peace, Linda

*A drabble you ask? A story complete in 100 words. Try it - for fun. Harder than it looks...
