This made me cry... I feel this way about my grandfather right now, who has just been diagnosed with lung cancer... ugh. This really gave me the willies, I love it!! You're so fantastic at what you do. I hope you know that.
This was the first poem (first piece of art really) that ever made me cry. The only connection i have to it is also having a sister, but still I sure did cry.
"Bargaining with with angels, playing poker with dogs, joining forces with all the sun's armies and the occasional battalion at night, but never making deals with the devil because that is who we fight."
Posting this on my wall literally, I believe this is one of those quotes that should be on posters so its always in everyone's face. I will keep this with me always.
Thank you for existing Mary Fons. And thank you for coming to Fremd Writers Week VII.
Oh my gosh, if she's not incredible than I don't know who is. Her emotion, enunciation, and incredible way with words easily makes her my favorite poet!
