White goose down comforter
thrown carelessly over
rumpled cotton sheets
one pillow on the floor
the other smashed between
the mattress and the wall
**********
Milky dried up stains
on the passenger side
black bra, size 34B
caught on the hooks
beneath the squeaky seat
lost for several days
**********
Fairy dust remnants
sprinkled across broken mirrors
next to lip gloss and mascara
loose change and beer bottles
all residing like siblings
on the bathroom counter
**********
Third generation worn sofa
cushions pushed out of place
like too many squares
in a round puzzle
alone again she dreams
three dead, one wounded
About the Creator
Heather Hagy
Stephen King fan (but not like Annie "I'm your #1 fan" Wilkes cuz I'm sane and she's not)
Horror/supernatural are my favorite writing genres
Wife to 1 and mom to 4 humans, 4 dogs, 6 cats, and a dragon
"Jaws" is the greatest movie ever

Pansies in the Wilderness
Born from an unexpected journey, I emerged from the depths of a blue jay’s flight, catapulted into a meadow without a sense of direction. Swallowed in haste, I was a seed, a glimpse of my homeland caught in the bird’s gaze as I basked in the warmth of the sun. Fleetingly, I called her Mother, only to pass through her throat like a specter.

The Gen Z Entrepreneurial Revolution
It is hardly debatable that the world has always been run by a bunch of aging dinosaurs, mostly male, who refuse to allow the younger generation to bring about changes. Politicians and leaders everywhere refuse to release the reigns of creativity and leadership until they are dead or dying. It is time to give the young a chance to revolutionize and change the entire landscape of their existence. Those of us with one foot in the grave, so to speak, should wake up and realize that we are not the ones who will be living in the world in the years to come.
