“Spry”
(Let Me Take You Home Tonight – Boston)
If I Have To Choose
“I’d rather be friends and alone, than alone with intimacy.”
(Strangers – Dom Dolla ft. Mansionair)
Druthers
“I’d rather be unattached than bound to a man I cannot trust to be faithful to me.”
“Beloved Ranger”
(Another Chance – Roger Sanchez, Afterlife Remix)
Home Again
With the addition of our tiger’s 7 month old successor, the house is bustling and lively again.
Of course, I am overwhelmed and overworked in trying to attend to everyone’s introductions and needs.
But the hound and he seem to be as perfectly-matched playmates (supervised, for sure!), building further upon past precious traditions, and our ranger has someone interesting to pique her interest.
Our wolf, per usual, is aloof and tolerant – and keeps alert for when the food is ready!

Paid Forward
“Why would you think your telling me this would make me happy?
Especially since your offer of friendship with me was a lie?”
Time Alone
Sometimes, there can be too much.
Fever
There comes a time when
Only one thing can appease
A wounded soul that would freeze
Without ire’s heat to keep comfort.
Younger Men
They may be
Accelerating
But I go
Farther…
Still, they
Are better
Than older men
Who stop trying.
Dear Alex,
I did not think you would seek to understand me.
(Body – Elderbrook)
Externalities
Hey!
“I’m great!”
You – there!
I’m over here!
Pay attention to me!
Buy what I’m selling!
Applying to contests
And scholarships
Just like working
Freelance focused
Are things I cannot afford
When scraping for stability.
Who’s To Blame
Believe in me
I’ve said to you
But you ran away
Stagnant blue
What I gave
Was unwanted
My passion seen as a
Threat to be avoided
How can it be that
Men are so blinded
They think they can
Get away with nothing
Expecting the woman
To provide as a mother
And hating her
Just the same.
Loved-Starved
If one is and has been,
How does one reset?
How can starvation be
Fed to appeasement?
How is one to believe
Nourishment can last
If history limited to
Temporary repast?
Elderbrook – Live From The Aquarium
When In Need
A friend helped me yesterday to move items that had been blocking my progress because I could not manage them on my own without causing reinjury.
I hate having to wait for this slow-as-molasses healing.
Those challenge items kept me stuck in disarray for months while I tried to function around them!
So when my friend took her leave and tried to impress upon me that I “had done enough for the day,” I thanked her, closed the door, and dove into the side projects that our progress had exposed.
Of course, today I am suffering in neck pain and discoordination for the overexertion beyond neural and muscular tolerances.
But, I couldn’t let things spiral apart again by leaving various messes.
I needed to capitalize on the sudden clarity and ride its course of momentum.

Attunement
Motherhood is often about putting aside one’s own needs for the sake of others.
