The Moth
She was drawn not to light, but to the memory of warmth, how dusk held its breath when his presence hovered like dusk’s first wind.

Mirror
I am the mirror The one you never quite expect, But when you meet my gaze, You see beyond the mask you wear. In my stillness, you confront The parts you hide even from yourself The choices made in shadow, The soft betrayals you dare not name. I hold your reflection steady, Not twisted by Continue reading

No Vacations, No Retirement —Just Grit and Grace
I grew up in what my mother called “working poor.” It wasn’t a label we wore publicly. It was just… life. At first, I thought we were like everyone else.

Just Another Day in Washington State
Driving to work this morning in a full-blown rainstorm, visibility low, stress high—and then my nose decided to betray me. Out of nowhere, a nosebleed. Not a gentle drip. A massacre.

The Art of Fragrance: Memory, Mystery, and Musky Skin
There was a time in my life when I worked behind a fragrance and cosmetics counter at a large department store. The lights were soft but flattering, the glass counters sparkled, and I was surrounded by bottles—tiny, elegant sculptures filled with emotion. That’s what perfume is, really: emotion in liquid form. Back then, I didn’t Continue reading
