S.E. Washburn Poems

'What are we leaping to? '
Sugar, I haven't the faintest idea.

I am more than this.
Yes, I have a learning disability- but I can hear a song once or twice and sing it back to you.
I am more than this.
The people who were supposed to care for me most had child services called on them before I could hold my head up- but I have learned to nurture.
...

What weighed so upon your soul?
Perhaps the world will never know.
