[MD] What moon is it?

[John Carl]

Today, my son's birthday, I saw the moon hanging in the sky, I thought of
Marsha.

I miss Marsha.

 My girls are all back at school for a short interlude before winter break,
but I found a notebook paper with a poem and a drawing on it from my oldest,
Em.  I thought it was really good anyway, but even more apropos with certain
other threads commenting upon thistles and ...

I wondered if you loved me.


I heard tell of a game


to ask a flower if


you might feel the same


I picked a pretty thistle


It said "she loves you not"


my finger started bleeding


which hurt


and so I stopped.
