I made plenty of window friends
I could reach out to them 
whenever I missed my own
friends and near ones back home.

The window facing the South unfolded
the beautiful, enchanting river Masse.

The Chopper Cyclone

Oh Wild Wind!  Why so rude?
Oh Dear God! Why no mercy?

Religious programing 
Regional back firing

SISTERHOOD OF AVON

the brrr...ringing of a bell
a catalog and a smile in hand

I've just confessed out loud 
In the safety of a safe space, safely
(Just so that's clear)
I am wracked with guilt and shame

This is me yelling, "HA!
No matter how I feel,
today my laughter,
satan will not steal!

Laughter is healthy,
that's what I've been told.
I'll start with just a giggle,
and then get really bold.
I'll try a quiet chuckle,
and then a...

Patient Hope is on a stoic decline
The celluloid tread mill 
is crybaby set 
on an aorta sob incline —  
A cardio faithless, vertical whine

Shouldering the weight of personal decisions,
is seen nowadays 
as an irresponsible,...

Humble,
Rudimentary,
Comfortable clutter to abate fears of agoraphobic stumbles,
A 4x4 white-washed landscape provides the perfect artistic study.

a pileup that followed her home.

We feel strange with deciduous trees.
There's something about their nude branches
That reminds us of elbows and knees
And the bones of our bodies generally
With our organs, blood and skin.
We rely on...

EXERCISE
When I think about exercise
I'm inspired to join a gym class,
Then after taking a short rest,
That feeling just seems to pass.

To exercise I should make a start,
But thinking about it at...

In my teens nothing bothered me,
Size 10 I could eat what I wanted,
My weight wasn’t something I worried about,

In my twenties and in my prime,
Size ten to twelve I watched what I ate,
