Etched out ghost town . Top Story - March 2023.

Dear Jane
Dear Jane, It’s been nearly a week, I hope you have had a productive and peaceful time. I have sent several poems and letters to you over the last several days, I hope you received them well in a timely fashion. You do not have to respond to all of them, I merely intend to write to you in any case to let you know I will always appreciate your friendship and keep you in my prayers and thoughts.

Empty space
slurred, slurped, so cute your aroma, not wasted Like a bloated blueberry, I feel your pain is artificial and it’s tasted Empty space sloshes around my frozen brain, I am very tired of this feeling

Sinking Lull
sinking lull, No lullabies No arms to hold me Hundreds of arms outstretched from me I am frowning Drowning No one to hold me

Swallowed up in golden fevers
swallowed up in shackled folded gold A fool I am to pine for you, Jane Eyre, but I dare say we fit well together, off my tongue it rolled
