The Choice


You've eyes that pierce deep in my heart
Plunge into my soul
I feel your body close to me -
I will never turn to see

I know that if I do
He will be forgotten
I will fall into temptation -
Lose all I have sought

You haunt my dreams and fantasies
When we make love
It’s you I see
I feel your spell pulling at me -
I will not give in

Leave me now
It's him I want
I know you will not last
You will weave into my heart
Deftly pull my life apart

And in the morning
When I wake
I know you won't be there
I will have lost what I love most
Just to taste the forbidden

I know that in the depths of your eyes
There brews lust and betrayal
I do not want that for me
Leave!
Before I turn to see…

My doctor gave me muscle relaxants, which I don't like to take, and our insurance only covered four physical therapy visits. Massage can't hurt my back any more than it already does, I guess."

Confusion and Clarity

And just like that, my Peace Corps service is over. It is certainly not the way that I saw it ending, but here we are.

Covid 19 has forced us all to take a look at our lives and lifestyles. I will be forever grateful to the people of Mozambique for opening their lives to me and allowing me to be a part of it for this past year. There are so many things that I wanted to do, and now the time is over.

The last week has been a blur with travel. I had to take a chapa (something like a van that is used for public transportation in Mozambique) from my site in Xai-Xai to the capital city of Maputo. The next day, I flew to Johannesburg, South Africa. Next was Johannesburg to Dubai, then Dubai to New York. The final flight was to my home in Charleston, SC. With all of the time zones, I have no real idea of how many hours I was actually in transit.

Since being home, I have been in self-quarantine. I only leave the house to go on a daily walk/run for 5 miles (10km). I figure if I must be on lock…
