__________________________________________________________________________________________ 7/16/17 3:35pm My mind can’t think and I wonder what is surrounding my brain in the moments it is squeezed shut without air for new thought; and how the only way to ease the constriction is to write words on a page.

__________________________________________________________________________________________ 7/15/17 3:37pm I have been covered in kisses for three weekends straight. Today I have been kissed almost at the exact center of my chest – just touching the spot where the top of my heart lies. It feels perfect, for I love my friend who leaves her lipstick all over me. We like Read More …
__________________________________________________________________________________________ 7/13/17 10:28am I am the lizard girl. I am not too good to sit on hot concrete, under the sun, to wait for the returning bus, after missing my initial stop.

__________________________________________________________________________________________ 7/12/17 6:46am It’s more fun to believe in magic. That’s when the beetles come to dance with me. And under every blade of grass is something fantastic to discover. Stones rise from the dirt to be seen. Wood and root curl, peering through leaves, revealing their playful spirits. And the praying mantis sits beside Read More …

7/10/17 5:46am ________________________________________________________________________________________ 6/13/08: There was a violin playing and my father. And a hundred heads of people. I forgot that my dress was dirty. And it was the most beautiful moment of my life. * I’m rereading my writings from almost ten years ago. My younger self, speaking without restraint. The simplistic beauty of recording Read More …
6/19/17 7pm ________________________________________________________________________________________ ***** I will send you rain and low rumbling thunder to waken you while you lie in a warm room, on soft sheets under the light breeze of a fan and feel that all the world rises up for you. But you cannot stay curled forever. I Read More …
6/19/17 5:35am ________________________________________________________________________________________ I awoke out of my slumber while dreaming of a captive snake: having to reign her in, after she broke through her tank and ate other animals; a voracious need to be let loose, biting at me as I grabbed at her any which way I could manage, as she burrowed under Read More …
6/16/17 1:27am ________________________________________________________________________________________ I’ve been playing with animals recently. Watching nature. Chasing bugs with my cat; playing finger tag with my betta fish (yes…he plays tag); staring into the eyes of a young deer who was trying to hide; listening to the robin sing a song; admiring a gaggle of goslings, under the close supervision Read More …
