Marigold Skye’s eyelashes
tremble like
a bullet- flooded soldier as
she flips
through tea -stained
photos of
her grandmother back in 1963…her grandmother who
wears freedom FOR ALL in a
floral full -flowing
flag ….of
…..protest….
a photo
…falls….
….
carelessly onto
Marigold’s lap
and a young soldier
stares up
at her…his eyes
as wide as a puckered kiss… and it’s as though he is waiting…
…waiting….waiting…
…waiting for…
… dying… for
…..for someone …his lips
as red as
flags

Hi, my name is Kae Bucher. Thanks for stopping by.
I was born in the Florida Keys, but grew up in the Bay Area before migrating south for college. I completed my bachelor’s in English at Fresno Pacific University in California, where I minored in Christian ministry. I have also had the privilege of serving as a youth pastor.
In addition to teaching special needs students and raising four children, I also studied Special Education as a graduate student at FPU. I have now been writing for over twenty years.
Recently, I have written articles for iPatriot, and I am in the process of converting my front room into a greenhouse. I like storing humor and greenery, weeds and poetry, in mental tin cans. You will find my humanitarian dreams and political leanings organized accordingly.
Feel free to dig through my buckets…
