I AM MISSING:

Several people

A few places

Some feelings

io mangi

Frutta, no fromaggio, no animale.  Liu mangia....

1% woo hoo!

I will get there. I'm grateful for knowing Spanish because it's been such a help with words. Scrivo equals write and in Spanish its the same. Some fruit and certain animals sound similar. I'm too excited!!!!

Elena Rae Carter

You are bright and warm… stop!
Your presence is for the sun.
Don’t go hiding your emotions away
because your laugh bounces and rings
and wraps and cradles
like a pink atmosphere
blinding and cloudy
Your grin is certainly blue
and how beautiful your lips
look thinning before stretching
further back like waves
coming to shore again and again
I found it wonderful
how your hazel eyes connect
with your sculpted nose that connects
with your kind mouth that clicks
with green when you sing
Budding Trees by Nahko
Your voice stretches and pushes
until it holds
Everything you say is honest
You mention how life must be lived:
adventurous and in the moment
so off you went
hitchhiking to Humboldt
to harvest hemp
like the dread
in that wild hair of yours
in canopied forests
barefoot with joy
smiling at the sky

Why then
did we not realize
that you meant it when you said,
"Some see too much beauty in life.
They end life."
 
And grabbed a gun
to end yours
