May 10

if there are any heavens my mother will(all by herself)have
one.  It will not be a pansy heaven nor
a fragile heaven of lilies-of-the-valley but
it will be a heaven of blackred roses

my father will be(deep like a rose
tall like a rose)

standing near my

(swaying over her
silent)
with eyes which are really petals and see

nothing with the face of a poet really which
is a flower and not a face with
hands
which whisper
This is my beloved my

            (suddenly in sunlight

he will bow,

& the whole garden will bow)



- e.e. cummings

Tomorrow is for mommas. Today I was thinking how my mother reminds me of Jesus, because she loves me more than I give in return, she helps when I think I don't need help, she makes me do stuff that is good for me like drink organic things and plant tomatoes, and she's beautiful. She's just beautiful.

one sweet day

today i made two kinds of cookies.
i danced around and Frank Sinatra sang Summer Wind.
creatures of all kinds watched through the windows.

waking up at 9:30am, i am prompted to share my thoughts on sleep after a year in college:

my thoughts on sleep after a year in college are that sleep is good.

so it's harder than it looks

coming back to anywhere, when you've been away for a while.

but, just in case it's worth anything:

i'm here. . .
