Poem: Auburn
Dull roots return —so much for low maintenance— but low maintenance is for low moods giving up not bothering I should delight in high maintenance —and finding shortcuts– for high rewards or at least the satisfaction of not giving up refusal to bow down to my dull roots both...
Movies, better weather, and yarn winding
Well, I missed last week because reasons… or at least, I think I had reasons, I don’t really remember. So, what have I been up to? Well, watching a lot of movies. I’ve talked about my writing projects a bit here and there and I’ve decided to narrow my...
Poem: Renewal

A couple or three old stories and musings on creative direction for my writing career

Poem: Slingbacks
strappy polka dot stilettos the better to walk all over with no time for argument hateful glares from old hags —no matter the age— in their ugly dirty sneakers and clumsy orthopedic shoes wistful glances from husbands remembering when their wives still wore heels still cared to turn them...
