Haphazardly strung
A twisted barb penetrates
Unraveling threads
Inside, the core of despair
Tis humanity’s weakness

I haven’t been posting for awhile, Lorraine. Family issues, as well as health. Either it’s that, or WP unfollowed me from you. I’ve had a time trying to get everyone back myself. It’s horrendous!
