this blog will retire

as will 2010.

the year ends with a new born baby, death of a dear family friend, heart aches, heart mends, new friends, really great friends, France Voyage, good foods, meaningful work, finding the perfect blend of musicians, slow dances, booty shaking, creative spaces, clean sheets.



meet me at the finish line.the sun is shining!

to understand
the lay of your hands
your hidden truths
that keep me from

mountains may recognize
a longing for desire
yet feel grounded
in comfort of knowing

morphine
breathing room
to leave this space
this time
illusion of life

mom,
I could squeeze you for eternity
let you cry
hold my waist
salty tears
to taste

from the day I was born
the rasp of her voice lingered
like cigarette smoke
silouhette
her magnitude of love
sharing the appreciation for beauty
and laughter

afraid of clowns
death awaits
where there are no clowns
peace be with you.

caught up

a minor place

will stay behind with the New Year.

dents and mends

none shall pass

if only we were born with these buttons

baker.

full moon baby.

your eyes of december

hope to remember
regardless of broken wings
there is light to be let in.
