Advice Column

The Kachina dance-whispered in my ear,
Ancestor news-radio style,
steady-voiced commands you must take special care to hear
My personal postal service…

She gushed, like freshly machete’d melons,
“Wait for it, it’s coming.”

(Remembering) Base Note:  White Musk This note creates a powdery, clean, and smooth finish that deepens the scent and adds softness.  Plus a vanilla cream to soften the skin (if not me.)  So what if… and I’ll entertain it… It’s actually another “you”  (who for once)  Carries the investment Giving more than you take An unusual vibration Ripple effect of a smooth pebble In the depths of my dark born lake  The investment, still al...
