Welcome to  Flowers & Vortexes Online A Vortex of Creativity © 2020 Mikey Webb © 2020 David Brooks On Grief    August slips cool into a September porch swing. Come sit with me and have coffee at 3am. We'll speak without shame, for we've been intimate for years - since you found your place between my husband's hips and mine. We are one another's quiet addiction, each the other's lingering suicide.
