MaimableFor such a resilient mammal,  You tear apart too easily.  Dear prey, gluttony calls  But I must have fair play to hunt,  To feed, to thrill at the chase.  I savor the impending gore upon my maw.  In one fell swoop I drag and shred  And my stomach turns at the too-soft touch,  As a human shuns a rotting tomato.  You have no bite, no lasting breath  For me to wrest from your shaky lungs.  You've left me quite put out, dead thing,  And woe is me you were too maim-able.  I leave to hunt the larger prey.

The Snail MindToo slow, too slow,  I watched all of you pass me by and I shied from my insecurity  And wept for those I could not love,  And wept for those who gave me salt  When all I asked for was a protective leaf.  And then there was the great oak tree where I hid,  Bored my holes in like acid,  Over whose bark I trailed my sterling slime  And I wished it could be only mine.  But I knew far above my head squirrels chattered in the branches,  Gaudy butterflies rested,  Bright-feathered birds often nested,  And I remained a solemn snail,  Offering only my silvery trail 'round the rough exte The Snail Mind

MondayThe beeping box of plastic screams blasphemy at 6 am,  Darkness too cold and heavy waits beyond the confines of the sheets.  No duvet can stave off the prospective chill of tedious hours,  Of half-formed questions and a nagging voice inside the mind asking,  "What was the point in being here at eight? Again?" Monotony.  Later a ray of light shines dimly, a worm on the end of some unconcealed hook -  Lunchtime, the famous Twelve to One respite  From paper to cardboard: a meatloaf, a blended watery béchamel,  Fibrous pulp, the unstrained surplus of a printing factory.  Then back again, from One Monday

Faux PterodactylI think you tried to fly to me,  But your wings gave out  Beneath the sun, and the lakes dried up  And your shade died.  
You were beached at the edge of what once was a valley,  Lush and green and cool.     I think you cried out to me,  Your call piercing the cliffs with echoes  But I was too far into the future  To look back and listen  And someday I’ll stand smitten,  Sorrowful and staring  At your fossilized corpse  Behind glass in a museum.     Ill recognize you as mine  And feel the pang of the strength of your voice  Resonating for Faux Pterodactyl

If You...

If you bend yourself instead of the spoon, do you fold yourself instead of the paper?
Well, I've been doing a bit of origami mixed with jewelry. The origami rose has me horribly mangled, cradling the little shreds of paper that survived. Needless to say I haven't mastered it yet. But I made a necklace/earring set of origami strawberries today and I will try to get that up here soon. I've also been doing a unique little assembly of cubes. I haven't made any necklaces yet, but I've done a couple pairs of earrings. They're pretty easy to make. I will, as always, continue to submit poetry and prose sporadically, as school is back in session and I am still a terrible procrastinator. I might even attempt a song or two again. Point is, I'll try to be on as much as possible and interact a lot more. I miss all you wonderful people who have responded so kindly and intelligently to my work, and encouraged all my insanities. And I miss our playful banter about things like devouring words and what they would taste like. I miss you all, and I will be returning soon! In the meantime, I wish everyone survival, as school is (at least for most) either already in session, or starting up soon. Eat words, the lot of you!
Dictionaries and an abundance of paper to all.
