  Working For Someone Else

  Working For Someone Else I cleaned out my locker yesterday  The books hitting the bottom of the box went:  Thud, Thud, Thud  Shared a few laughs, gave a few hugs  Said goodbye to the friends I made  And tossed away my “I love my job” mug   I find sport in facing my fears  Shedding…

  Olive Oil

  Olive Oil Let the chains color, rust, rattle and recoil. In a life full of second chances, it’s never too late to start over. A realm rinsed and gargled out by a little bit of olive oil.    Love always, Esha <3
