Pauline Collins – d. November 5th 2025

Diane Ladd – d. November 3rd 2025

I saw you rouged in a dead man’s gore.
I saw you work the diner. I saw the silence
in your eyes fueling that barbed kindness,
and though you don’t live there anymore,
still I can never rinse away that wildness.

Tcheky Karyo - d. October 31st 2025

You will know when I tell you.

looters shot on the street, only
this nightmare, filmed as truth.
