"THE FIRST DOWNPOUR IN MONTHS"

You may complain

about the rain

It’s hard to go home

without getting drenched

Nights are long

The city traffic’s a bitch

Kitten In Fridge

My son told me the kitten had been shut in the fridge.

Fortunately, Angus was still hungry, so he had reason to open the door.

Bottom shelf, the kitten sat.

I am glad teenagers eat often.

Silent House

ONE ARMED, I woke up and got dressed, went to step class and took a bath:

Got dressed, changed sheets and made bed.

Noon already.

Having one less arm slows a person DOWN.

My house is in silence.

Even one but me at school and work.

The First Day Of #SPRING

Bright sun on all snow land.

Windows still closed but lighter jacket on.

So much waiting.

So much changing.

New ventures.

Same challenges as always.

"AN EMPTY ROOM"

No more magic?

Why vacant as it is?

Who took all of it?

Nothing to pick.

Dementors have resided,

STILL...VIEW

The 6am view from the bedroom, leads my eyes to quiet graves by sunrise.

Frantic thoughts and heart and panic attacks.

Rest my soul, my spirit, my mind, my heart, my life.

Let go of results, success, achievement, fame.

Be still with the spreading of WAX, punching in data, the baking of cookies.

Take note of my daughter's morning kiss, my husband's sacrifice, the doctor's empathy, the sunshine and my father's perfume gift.

Gather Round Me Nest

Oh gather these things round me.

Round my room and into boxes marked "new".

The money spent is silly in exuberance and steward-less sinfulness.

Two hundred dollar leather wool boots and Costco matters.

Pregnant and driven with unknown, excited anticipation.

Out with the old and chipped and into the broken boxes goes my MAINE home.

Saturday Before Easter

Sheep to decorate.

Spring clothes to find.

Lamp port to tie bows on.

Icy lime pie to make.

Take Se' to HAIR appointment.

As always, cat litter and laundry.

#FOT

In the periphery of darkness

On your way to the light

You're gonna make a choice

After struggling inside

You must refuse

You must resist

October SAD

Cool, quiet and sad.

Getting ready for winter seclusion.

Aloneness.

Imprisoned by cold.

A moat of ice surrounding this tone castle.

My prince yelling at me and ordering me to love this dark and frozen season.

Bag Of Chips

Today, I bought a bag of chips.

Not veggie or healthy but the real thing.

March is hanging on.

I'm loving the fight for sanity till spring. So good all winter with exercise and Vitamin D, thinking positive thoughts and trying to embrace the suck.

My strength is breaking; fortitude melting.

No green in sight.

"YOUR TROPHIES?"

What is it with people like you?

You treat everything a competition,

all in the name of public acknowledgment.

You flaunt your fortunes,

clearly fishing for compliments.
