If only I hadn’t walked into the storm
If only I’d stayed home
If only I’d listened to Mike
What then?
S.B. Borgersen writes, knits socks, and accepts that, at 75, there is still plenty to learn as she studies beginner piano on the shores of Nova Scotia Canada. Sue’s favoured genres are micro fiction and poetry but she does have thirteen draft novellas gathering dust. See more at sueborgersen.com.
A lovely piece so poignant.
