She reflected on how it was kind of funny that she was practically baring her teeth as her hackles raised and she repositioned herself whenever a male who wasn’t him would get to close to her.

Something definite that she no longer had.

Umm…
“Listening to the Beatles’ original, ‘The Fool On The Hill,’ the song on the radio station suddenly goes dead air – and then this version with Smooth Jazz Sax comes on…
I don’t think that the song was supposed to be so sexxy.!”

Because she could not “see” where the needed undergarment had gone to.

Heaven’s Gate
Along the river where willows part
Lying on a blanket blessed by stars
He wrapped his body around hers
Sinking to depths embracing love
Her eyes spilling over tears of relief
Mirrored his request to never leave
A promise both gave in bonding
Their souls through mortal coils

Illusive Clarity
In trying to redefine needs
It’s hard to recognize ego
Immersion Therapy
Oh, that’s right!
She’d had a most wondrous dream where these birds like a cross between parakeets and cockatiels had come to her from the wild blue, and played in and out of a portable cage that she provided for them mid-traveling between destinations in her and their journeying.
One especially liked to be touched and held and its feathers fluffed and kissed – it loved lots and lots of soft, cooing, fluffy kissss that she would give to it from her heart flame’s rekindled warmth and fascinated adoration.
And as she alliwed herself to delight in their not too loud warbles, she could feel the shame and regret of sticky failures that had not been her own, but were cast upon her by the dispersions of other humans and society still clinging to her from when she had lived and tried but been weighed down by dependencies in the past – now next levels expanding currently.
And she worried that she had no consistencty in routines nor stability nor funding to help care for their happiness.
All she knew was that a small flock of the most magical creatures had found her, and they were singing and fluttering all around her, landing on her shoulders, taking turns letting her touch, kiss, sing to, and cuddle them – with the male leader playing the most with her and seeming determined to claim her as his home.
Suspension Anxiety
She couldn’t tell if it was from circumstances, or physical injury.
Cling Tight To Each Other
Denial
They said that she did not have a sustainability plan, despite the proofs of her past and current efforts that she gave to them.
They were vague and used words of censureship that she had not earned, nor deserved in judgement against her.
His Heart
Was one of her favorite things about him.
Presence
She knew that his heart had always had this, even if at times he’d wished that it hadn’t.
My Captain
It did not seem possible that there’d be a hero to come help and save her.
Someone who’d value, want, and cherish her.
For so long, she’d been the one others needed to rely upon.
Hon,
“I don’t want you to ever leave me, again.”
(Despite All – Yoe Mase)
Retreat
She had made herself available, but now she’d just…
The Job
Keep stitching torn sails, work to repair rigging, and pray for reinforcements.
For The Moment
She’d been able to get help with restarting the fireplace today since its prior use last winter.
It gave her great pride to see her family gathered around it, happily soaking up its warmth while they still had housing.

“On My Own” (Singin’ The Blues)
By Athena Stairs, December 25, 2025
I’ve looked for my marbles
Not sure where they’ve gone
While drowsy from sleep
Thought I’d write this cute song
There are ghosts in the hall
But I keep them from talkin’
At times flick a light
To interrupt their stalkin’
When takin’ a shower
I’m careful with balance
No bars on the wall
Means slippin’s a menace
And when try to cook
I’m chasin’ ingredients
If you like your food charred
My skills are ingenius
My garden is wet
So rarely smell flowers
The hound can still fetch
But I throw with weak power
My homework has died
From a smack to my thinkin’
The synapses fire
But gaps signal blinkin’
Want to make my own music
But readin’s gone faulty
My eyes seekin’ guidance
Fight overload mentality
My logic’s alright
But I’ve fallen in love
Still lonely at night
When could fit like a glove
But I’ll be alright
It’s been years on my own
Try to live a moral life
So no need to atone
I fight back determined
Where demons encroach
Still seems human plight that
Our souls are bare-boned

Barriers To Understanding
She wasn’t going to fight with a ghost.
What Offends Me
“Being messed with and given empty promises.”
Squirrelin’ Around
Walls Closing In
Her inner horse began bucking and kicking in all directions around her as perceptions of impending failures and too long unfed starvation for love’s reality began collapsing in on her emotional psychology.
“One day at a time!
One day at a time!
For F’s sake – ONE DAY AT A TIME!!!“
Resolute
The concussion scenario being a dead end recipe for complete disempowerment, she just kept trying to do whatever she could try to do, despite it – peppered with moments of stopping for breaks to try to rest.

“A War Of Attrition…”
(Sleep Token reference)
Braaaaiiiiinnn
“One could think that being told one must rest for recovery would be liberating.
But it isn’t – no, not one bit – not one bit at all when one’s boat is sinking.”
Wrecked
People driving stupid despite black ice season, then honking as if they have rights to push other people to speed up and join them.
Pulling over to reset because don’t want to take that b.s. energy home.
Ok, Listen
“In a song, a guy is stealing a gal away from another guy – and then asking her to be true to him.
How is this not a multi-layered setup?
Breaking morality, setting a behavior pattern…be untrue to the first guy, but then have morals again?
Just…BAAHHHH!”
Summary
“I don’t have structural support and use consistency in system availabiliy for accessing, and when I use these systems, hyper-compression on vertebrae and joints, as well as extreme muscle torsions that attempt to ‘pull me apart’ result.”
Discussion
“After two and a half years of working toward reactivating muscle responses, it becomes apparent how essential that the surrounding fascial support tissues are in also needing reactivation to cushion and hold structural supports, as well as keep them within their own sectors vectors.”
My Phrasing
“Based upon personal and professional experience.”
Official Terminology
“Connective tissue integrity disruption.”
