Kummerspeck

Posted on April 27, 2017 by Susan L Daniels

They call it grief bacon
that cushion of extra tasty
layered over pain

It is not delicious?

Nothing sweeter than old tears
lacing chocolate.

I am a firm believer that politics are personal, that faith is expressed through action, and that life is something that must be loved and lived authentically--or why bother with any of it?

    And they always come back
    and they are always sweet
    and they are always salty….
