I grew up with many crazy relatives, who, by all accounts, should have slit their wrists...but who, like Aunt Blanche, kept on truckin'. Thanks for the follow.

And this piece by Lucille Clifton, Praise Song. Tore me to shreds. Poor Aunti Blanche. Such indignity. Such a relief she made it back to the house. I'm your newest best fan.

Wierd how I will never have that mourning time when the period ceases. I killed her myself in 2008 and never looked back LOL! Don't miss her now, won't later. She won't be a sign that I have dried up and pruned, because I murdered her before she could do that damage!Wine and Wordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06778785233226804217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4356162479428337180.post-66740624795066058932011-06-27T10:58:41.532-05:002011-06-27T10:58:41.532-05:00It's been awhile since I've thought about ...It's been awhile since I've thought about Lucille Clifton and I do love her work.
