A magnificent poem with a magnificent photograph. A #poem by Kate Rogers.
"The birds will launch, retrace memory
between the tug of the moon

If you go to a Wicked showing and start singing they should be allowed to beat you with popcorn bags. Them babies came to hear Ariana Grande and Cynthia Eviro, not Pam from the community theater troupe. GROW UP.
