Poet’s Corner: Out of Reach

You say it’s dangerous

you say it’s too risky to be alone

            it is winter

 

I lay in a field

in the frost      the bridge across from me

 

my hand on my chest             

my skin is hot

(like desert sand)

 

I am not sick

 

I close my eyes

and can hear the lady, whistling

on the park bench, smell

the breeze, the fiery wood

I picture the crack in your ceiling

electric-blue light on your desk

 

I place a hand in my pocket

grab a loose thread

twist it between my fingers until it burns 

like the tip of a recently extinguished match

I unravel

silent as stone             eyes open

I whisper your name 

beneath the crest – 

ink-faded red dusk  

I listen

5 Signs Your Skincare Routine May Need Professional Support

Skincare often starts simple. A cleanser that feels right, a moisturizer that works well enough, maybe a serum added after a late-night scroll through recommendations. For a while, it feels manageable. Then things shift. Your skin reacts differently, results plateau, or certain concerns just don’t improve no matter how consistent you are. In a place like Beverly Hills, where advanced treatments and skin-focused care are part of everyday conversations, it’s common to see people move beyond
