my father planted daffodils next to the starkes’ 1890 silver maple in 1990. 2025 the starkes and my dad are gone. Their plantings remain.

I will never get old. Repeat after me. I will never get old.

In medicine, mortality is a term that refers to death or the number of deaths in a specific population over a certain period of time. Mortality can also refer to the state of being mortal, or destined to die.–Gemini

Harry Jerome Arnold had a mission from God.

Harry’s mission was to warn people about Hell by means of his poetry. He was unable to publish his book. He died. So go, at times, missions and dreams.

God’s Poem Writer, Harry Jerome Arnold, died the first week of May, 2015 of esophageal cancer. Reportedly, his was a quiet and peaceful death (at home, with Hospice care). After being homeless for many years, Harry died with the dignity of a roof over his head. He lived at the Crossings. He was, in our interactions, a saint, like a wandering holy man. Quick to smile and give kindness to other people.
