THE HOUSE In two decades of decadent living, I’d banished all remembrances of the past, but the house that I ran from came ghosting nudging me to revisit one last time. Jack Daniel’s, Thaddeus IV, and I hit the road with trepidation, our trio will make do the best we can. Surprisingly, my brain’s GPS knows the way precisely: by noon, we stand before the squalid house. I take a swig to boost me up and numb my senses...
Friends, please continue reading the rest of the poem at MASTICADORES USA. And thank you most sincerely.

Selma is my middle name. Its meaning—peaceful, complete, are euphoric affirmations I like to think of myself as having. They compliment the joy I feel when I write.
