spilled milk
the microorganism
is me

Be my friend, hold me, wrap me up, enfold me,
I am small and needy. I think about outer space a lot but it always reflects me right back to earth and what the meaning of life is..



raindrop cantata

white noise september

I wrote this on a very rainy day in the actual month. It was really pouring, I opened the window and got lost in the sounds and feeling and mist of the rain. I think I sat there for the whole season. This still takes me there with a fuzzy focus.

The lavender bush on the corner was FULL of bees, I was worried at first but stopped and watched them for a minute as the light changed. On a walk.
