That the last two poems here were inspired by Jude's journey in Caroline's gorgeous first novel
In Search of Adam. Please don't be upset if you read them, Caroline ... *gulp* ...
We're human. Allegedly.
Deliberate and inadvertent cruelty comes with the deal in confusing abundance *sigh* ...
And although it sounds weird, given how dark these poems are, thank you Caroline - you and Jude gave me these poems to give back to whoever wants them *smiles*
