Re: What you sent and what it

meant. Could you clarify?

TBH some words you sent

have hit a glass wall between

me and you and stuck there,

obscuring the view,

blocking my light.

Re: What you haven’t sent and

what it meant to me

I re-sent re: what you meant.

IMO- Your ghost is turning me

into same-

I’m losing substance, doomed

to disappear down the period

at the end of this sentence- no

this sentence will never end

like that ## OMG LOL

Re: What I haven’t sent, and

what I meant

I did a seance with your ghost,

then turned it into a GIF,

which I deleted.

I'm filling in the blanks myself.

I’ve rebooted to a fun new page.

Without you.

BTW, my ghost will not keep you posted.

TMI already.
