Words Fall

Posted on January 25, 2019 by apronheadlilly

Posted on March 9, 2018 by apronheadlilly

I look down at my hands and know that within those tissues and cells, blood is coursing, coming from, going to, minute after minute, circuit upon circuit. But where is my soul in this pink, freckled flesh? Where is my … Continue reading →

The Peace That Doesn’t Come

Posted on January 24, 2018 by apronheadlilly

I swallowed up your fictions, building great thoughts and paradigms on them to support the framework of my soul’s integrity—because I thought they were true. Really true. Truer than the dusty time-tested, grime-infested mores of another lifetime. Rusty religion. And … Continue reading →

The Whirring

Posted on April 3, 2016 by apronheadlilly

Thought for the Day: Find me a Mountain!

Posted on August 19, 2013 by apronheadlilly

Weekly Photo Challenge: The World Through My Eyes

Posted on June 21, 2013 by apronheadlilly
