Fire in Ice

Ares and Aphrodite
walking mountaintops
together
Over the peaceful valley

You're not who I think you're
no
What a smooth misconception
Now I only wish to walk with you
Just that
You be you - 
fascinating in your crystalline contours
I just idealize myself on fire
like Dido 
May someone paint a wedding trunk after me, too

 

Wide awake in the night
to the sound of a shopping cart
wheeling through the house
Single Parent Mode On
three kids, a dog
how will I save them all
The buggy's gone by rising time
Venus eurusing the East
Dreams melting away unpeaced
I'm looking at you, snare drum
 

 

 

I can't tell you anything
You know it all, you do
In many a dance the feet keep the rhythm
the rest is a melody
I often f̶e̶e̶l̶ feet cemented as the Universe
sways around me
Seducing me into unimaginable
The more I give in
the more I expand
Cement, lament aside
Feels like I'm finally starting
... to dance
 

 

 

A calm soft masculine
voice filled the house
unexpectedly
What a change
what a treat
I've been craving this song
Thanks, U

Ok, anger
so you've come
I'm breathing you
I'm watching you
You're hiding behind tears
righteousness
blame, fists, fire in my eyes
in my voice
I see you
and hold you
You're helplessness
You are loss of connection
I embrace you and
sit with you
for you're the one
who ultimately gave me permission
to h̶e̶a̶l̶ feel

 

Went into god's heart today
So much room for dancing
in that black sphere
Then, when it's done
the domain can become anything
Like this green?
 
 

 

Dispose of me
again
I didn't fit your idea
of happiness
 


 

'em two played
I guffawed from funny chakra
and wondered
when didst people
start to wrong each other
 

 

All I know has been learned through the pain of others. It used to dance me into sadness and regret, into self-abuse of guilt. Until gratitude dawned.
I've been wronged a lot; many people took upon themselves bizarre and cruel deeds just to teach me something. They're nothing short of magic.
I'd lived boxed for several years here. Friends and summertime brought me out into the sun. I'm still expanding socially, awkwardly. Don't take it personally. Every one of you is my gratitude song.
Feeling open again, like the first time I flew to these mountains.
 

 

too late

 

The things I collect...
for what purpose, I wonder
The fireplace might tell me
after
 



See-through

 

I went through the house
naked this morning
Not a big deal, no
Except when it's not your house
Here people come and go
And I never know
But today
I walked in my body
Just that
I'm ecstatic I did
 
 

Inch by inch

 

Всегда хохочу, когда кто-то в нашем городе продаёт неприхотливые комнатные растения типа inch plant. Это когда дневной рост стебля составляет 2,5 см в день. Один месяц и ты в джунглях. Конечно, я немного утрирую, но заметьте - совсем чуть-чуть, на миллиметр. Да кому они нужны? Я бы от наших традесканций избавилась бесплатно и ещё доплатила сверху на бензин (но не отдаю, горшок шибко красивый). У нас ещё есть такой житель, который постоянно выпускает мини-копию себя на длинном ростке, с корешками. В соседние горшки целится. Размашистый такой.
И сегодня я подумала, а за что? за что я их так не люблю? И пришел такой ответ: всё потому, что я не привыкла осознанно расширяться в этой жизни. Я в какой-то коробочке "не высовывайся - не получится" обитаю. Сама не могу и вам, цветочки, не разрешаю. Хмммм... Теперь буду наблюдать. Расширяться. На 1 инч в день. И во что бы теперь влезть? - мой новый девиз. Ведь женщинам не составляет трудности напридумывать всякого... красивого.
"Будь терпелива с собой" - написано на картинке.

I think forever about
winter pastels
and air so crisp that
I can see past stars into
God's eyes
But then I look at this,
that's all I have
and all I need
My thoughts' demise
lies here
in my bed
 



On Tuesdays

 

A big truck came and took the trash
and played me a song
on crystal cups in the cabinets
Reminds me of elephants
communicating long distance
We are all here now
 

 

 

Woke up barely in the a.m. from spring
from singing birds
from new, young, unexampled
Realized barely in that a.m.
that's baby mice in wall peep-peeping
behind my head
the position of which
the positions in which
matter. Grey
& white neurological twister knots
How curious
 

 

O & A

 

If when in town
you hear a loud
raw AAAAAAAAAAAAAh! x2
splitting the air
trying to indent the mountain
on way to sway trees to the ground
know: it's me losing my shit
it's me letting go
Just me on the porch
practicing for the greatest
Ahrgasm

Rite of passage

 

The night was moving
to the rite of passage
(that's south for me)
unveiling spectrums
that take the breath away
Life rejuvenated
took one more swim
with creatures so unseen
but felt in the meridians
Daydreaming now
in a majestic place
of awe and deep deep mmhm
 



 

Where you goin'

 

Crestone to Alamosa behind the wheel
seems so straightforward
But I traveled extra
In every sporty car going over 80 past me
I listened to their music and
laughed and loved the road
with them
All the lifted four by fours
stole me shamelessly
Their snorkels taking in dreams of summer
grand adventures into the wild wild human heart
I got in
I will always
 


it's 18:30 dark

I love our little town
with real fireplaces
heart-warming talks
Dark night dances in the snow
or just the kitchens
Gifts from the soul
Love for years
I'm so smitten
completely taken
I am

Two thousand twenty two seconds

And so it goes
that I'm already in love with this new year
But what's new
I'll loven at least many times
before next sunrise
