Elegy for Grandpa Bum

He Speaks Four Languages. We Share One.
How can I articulate Our affection? No known words explain Our sparkly soul connection. As if the Universe ordained We were ready to collide. In a single moment, We boarded a borderless ride.

Musings, Moonlight and Martinis
I. "Where are you bb?" Your very first words. At the end of the night your angel had flown away like a bird. "I'm here why did you go... without saying good bye?" Drunk on martinis and moonlight, I didn't recall why! You'd already fallen for me. And, for you, I fell from the sky. … Continue reading Musings, Moonlight and Martinis
