RIP Christopher Watkins. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Adam-McWhorter/643530/ I wrote this short story for my sister Heather; in it, a young girl dreams of a spiritual and psychological awakening in an exotic, yet familiar landscape. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Adam-McWhorter/586909/ Title poem from my book "The Piano & Other Poems". This is a poem about growing up, growing older, and how nothing in life stays the same...
