birthday wish

i wish...

switch

instead of our
usual routine
where
I read the story

tonight

my son read to me

halloween

got felt up by
my six-year-old
certainly
not the groper
I was hoping for

happy birthday to me...

time

red reminds me that
I don't do casual

she knows me well

crazy

my
horrid scope
actually
made sense
today

moon

glowing
brilliantly
tonight

wish it were full

trick-or-treat

.....give me all your candy..... 

tease

"...I don't get
fun offers
like that anymore..."

she said with a sigh

friday

today's drive...
brilliant
oranges yellows & reds
that fade into
greys and greens

no on ramp
no brake lights

no rush

rest

one
empty bottle of red
one
finished x word (with help)
hot bath
fresh sheets
cool breeze

waiting for sleep

dark circles

another
sleepless night

cold air
pouring in through
the open window
helped
clear my
head

you

Your voyeuristic actions...

confuse me
challenge me
scare me

...understand that I started this as a means of expression. Expression that I need. By letting you inside.....I've taken a chance......allowed you to experience my vulnerability. Vulnerability.....that doesn't come easy.

Don't take advantage of this generosity....I've afforded you.

tonight

my son
told me I was
beautiful
of course
in the very next
breath
he said I was
crazy

38

"...the more
old
you get
the more
nice
you get..."

he said with a smile

wry smile

...a little bird
whispered
in my ear...

drive

...I need to
stop listening to
Etta
in the morning

jc

no
not the holy
one
pretty damn close
though

...he's joining
me
in my bath
tonight

puke

it's difficult to
keep them down
burried
out of sight
when all I want
to do
is vomit them
for all to feel

queen

three cats
and a kid
kicking me
to the couch
more room there
anyway...

laundromat

would be nice
if the guy
next to me
would stop staring
at my folded
panties
