The New Year

I have this little blog.
It's calling out to me.

Will anyone read it?
Does it matter?

If I want people to read it,
I will have to post interesting items,
now, won't I?

There is a ghost in my house.
I think it's my mother.
She is trying to tell me something.
I am listening.

She has also spoken to my sister Betsy.
There is something she wants us to know.
Perhaps it is a different message for each of us.

The last thing she said to me,
in her suicide note,
was "Learn how to bend."
