I wasn't sure what KINTSUGI was so I looked it up, actually I have heard of the concept but I did not know that was the word. A good analogy to use in your poem

I actually did not guess she was going to another state to get an abortion, but now you have said that I get it!

Thanks Bri!! The Jojo here is made up, but there's definitely a Loretta in my apartment building I used as partial inspiration.

In response to "She's Leaving Behind"

Thanks so much for the kind words, Jenny! Yeah, it's set in the American south, where states are trying to ban abortions and make it a crime to travel to another state to get one. This activity has been a lot of fun.

In response to "She's Leaving Behind"

I love this Version of "She's leaving Home" - When I was a kid my Mum used to play the Sgt Pepper album and I loved this one, I like the way you have set it in America (Greyhound?) To make it a bit different. It tells a story and flows well. You have written some great poems for this competition!

In response to "So Tired"

Well, I know a herbal remedy or two...or some physical activity
that might do, might do.
Hugs and chin up.
We of the great order of wokeness will win in the end.
Just ait, around the bend,
even those Repubs bubs will see
throught the orange hate and glee

Be That As It May

It's never "goodbye",
it's "'til we meet again".
I don't know how this works
but I'm sure it wasn't
supposed to be like it now is.
Your troubled times are long past
and maybe mine are starting
up again, but Nick Cave
once sang "Death Is Not The End"
and that's how I keep your memory.
Everyone's got their words
of wisdom, for solace, for grace,
but none speak as loudly
as you lived. If we let things be
it isn't to forget, but to accept
that one day death will call
whether we're ready or otherwise.
If we let them be, are we
inviting ourselves to be hunted,
tormented? Or is the ghost
benevolent? All these questions
unfulfilled until after the fact.
Be that as it may, I
still look toward tomorrow's light
shining on me, leading me on
until we find out where and
when we'll meet again.
