An Affair

September 13, 2021September 13, 2021 Eloisa Perez-Lozano

My husband walks in on us and says, “You are going too far: Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and now today too?”   He doesn’t understand the pull of the muse when my mind goes blind seeing, hearing nothing.   Nothing but words begging to be caressed into being, literary waterfalls decimating Read more
