On using a new app for writing

This is a test.  This is a test.

The orange coat is big for Spring

a volcano in Indonesia has just erupted

magazines tell you how to get fit,

have sex

and eat healthy

for the New Year.

My family is quiet

grandma is covered under sheets

Parkinson's has tied her mouth shut

she talks and I cannot understand

but she knows my name

"Maria", she whispers.

She never complains.

The rain fell in warm golden sheets

against a backdrop of sun today

I prayed to the gods of rain

sun and love

Sometimes under the cover of

moon I listen

for the Voice to speak

it is in me

waiting.
