2-7 inches
…of snow forecasted for the next 2 days. What level of hell is this? Bill Murray was in Groundhog’s day for: Precisely, 8 years, 8 months, and 16 days. 6 months+ doesn’t seem so bad anymore.

50 more years to retirement
the bathroom smells like cheap perfume – dear intern, please get better perfume. The walls are an insane asylum gray or white? Or gray? Or white? Or yellow from the florescent lights? Or jaundiced like a sick woman’s skin? No one wants to hear your hiccups even though you think they do. Hiccups don’t warrant sympathy.…

Green dreams
I had a beautiful dream last night. A soft blue-green field. Hills and hills and waves and waves of seaweed grasses of light and breezes strumming through. Miles and miles, there was nothing else but this blue grass water. The light sliced in and out of the clouds. There was a house, habitable, but weary.…

u complete me
We can’t sit at a table alone anymore. We have to be waiting – for someone, something to show. We can’t stare at the flowers and wonder if they’re real. We can’t study the inside structure of fruit. We can’t take a breath, spend 10 minutes scanning the menu painted on the wall. We can’t…

set adrift
There’s a new sign in public square that says “public bathing strictly prohibited” – I noticed it for the first time today, but it’s not warm enough for anyone to be publicly bathing and it’s not warm enough for the wimpy fountain that smells like sewer to be on anyway.

Reading of 'Two Bodies'
Someday I will actually have to do this and it scares the crap out of me, so this is me sticking a pinkie toe in the pool and then running back to my towel while the lifeguard yells at me for running. Two Bodies

Midday bath
Inside it’s quiet and warm. Outside the light is hard, harsh, bright and cold. I took this photo on a day where the wind was slamming down people’s door, ripping off their screens. And I went outside and stood in the storm and felt the rain. I went out to meet her. I took the…

Mish-mash
Maybe it’s exhaustion. Tula playing with bells at 3am. Sleeping with my shirt off in cold weather. The odd sensation that I’m bleeding. But my bones feel heavy today. Even as I watched the fog lift. Outside it’s an opal – pale, pink, glittery. I’m looking for emeralds, but only find white crystals in patches…
