But I was also a bit lost. The kids were grown and living their own lives. Without work, which had been central to my identity and my self-esteem for so many years, I was no longer sure who I was. I had been retired for two months, and already I was panicked.”

“I know that i’m too good for you
but i still crave
hades’ touch
even though
it’s harsh and unforgiving

i’m still willing to live
in the shadows
because somewhere
along the way i learned
that i don’t deserve
to see the light
