As kids, my sister & I used to keep Box turtles as pets. My sister passed away on May 7th, 2011 so here's to her! May she rest in peace.

"It's all in the subtext it was hardly known we had
the antidote to dreaming
inside the accident prone glass dolls
we are just surface that can be pulled away
an artful cover turned suddenly air
move your hand more slowly
I want to see you settle into the story
before the momentum goes dark"
