Sculpting human: Tinkering out-loud
The precursor
Who you are and what you are is your personal dream. It is only when you speak it into the stream of the world that you can claim to be a member of A Living Society.
It's your obligation to do so and the only

A Devotion Poem Fate
A Devotion Poem, FATE
(Written for my husband, Jim)
My beloved and I, with our hearts not only
aligned in love, but also in the empathy and
compassion grown in the fruits of our years
together, in needy as well as hopeful times,

Sculpting Relationships
We all are artists in a way and sculpt relationships

Sculpting Flesh
A soldering wire pushed into the skin,
the bubbling, crackling burning of hair,
scents of a barbecue, roasting pork,

a badge made of scars for the cutting crew.
Is a change to the flesh
