Self Portrait: Day Sixty-Nine


waiting for the steel bird that flew me home
to the darlings i left behind

Self Portrait: Day Sixty-Eight











the grand Venetian + a wild mother + two sister bears +
two delicious gay guys + an intriguing beauty + an eloquently animated lady +
giants and lights + daily frozen yogurt indulgences + outfits as art
six days of treasure

Self Portrait: Day Sixty-Seven





at sixty-seven years old,
i trust she knows what she means
when she says,
"Enjoy him now,
enjoy every moment with that beautiful man,
you must enjoy every day,
you must enjoy everything, all the time."

and i feel like letting go
of the thoughts that bring me down
and i feel like becoming
a hot air balloon of laughter and colour and everything the world has never known.

every moment will be my treasure.

Self Portrait: Day Sixty-Six




a canyon of petroglyph secrets
and roadrunner trails
i'm tempted to dream
of marbled, magnificent fails

Self Portrait: Day Sixty-Five




i saw a buffalo
in a valley of fire
i wanted those mountains
to climb much higher

to reach something ancient,
something precious,
something ghostly
and free

Self Portrait: Day Sixty-Four




i learned this week that
sometimes
living
fully/deeply/meaningfully
means
being a total
g o o f b a l l
with the people you love
best

Self Portrait: Day Sixty-Three


Happy Fathers' Day
to my one and only
Papa Bear

(we had fun today, huh?)

Self Portrait: Day Sixty-Two






my day was filled
with sunning puppy sisters
antique llamas and Moroccan glasses
a sky that was a pink masterpiece

Self Portrait: Day Sixty-One


once again
productivity
is the essence
of
m e

and that makes me feel whole
for now

Self Portrait: Day Sixty


i can't stop dreaming
of showering my hair in feathers
and painting my skin with peacock colors
and dancing about with the feet of a deer

(when i'm lost in the woods
i know that home is near)

Self Portrait: Day Fifty-Nine


in another life
i might have been
an Indian princess

Self Portrait: Day Fifty-Eight


i've found that
sometimes
acting slightly insane
(in public)
makes you feel
loads better

Self Portrait: Day Fifty-Seven

 

 

feather crowns
cream-filled popsicles
puppies running about my feet
a husband to kiss my cheek
memories of laughing with my sister bears

birthdays are happy, indeed
{happy birthday, sister bears}

Quite unlike a "good old-fashioned nightmare"

because
Matt & Kim
live in concert
is
m a g i c a l.







 


they reel you in
and
make you fall in love.
all of you.
