-+*Saturn retrograde: structures collapse. This is what I was thinking as I was on the treadmill the other day. Saturn is a test. Saturn retrograde is also a test. I know others are feeling the break. I am feeling the dissolve. Not that Saturn retrograde becomes Neptune but fixed water […]

-+*I didn’t post a little poem last night, but tonight I’m in the mood. One more from the archives. ** Eiji’s Finches I love their smell and that tiny odor of shit. They fly from one end of the cage to the other. A branch and a slab of cuttlebone, […]
-+*I am going to post someone else’s poem for my Little Poem for Monday. I am looking through poems that I wrote when I was 23, 24, 25. Poems that were in my manuscript. They are mostly erotic poems. That’s what they were to me. I was obsessed. They are […]
-+*For Jose From Queens This poem is for Jose from Queens, who lives a mile past Shea, and the day we spent at Coney Island. This poem is for his smooth brown chest, the day he called me “baby” and “sweetheart.” Grandfather of one. Wife dead five years. Heavenly all […]
-+*Galaxy Diner My father would have loved a place like this, all the way over on the West side. You could still smoke inside restaurants when he was alive, and he smoked Newport, before, during, and after dinner. I remember. The last time, he screamed at a waitress for having […]
-+*Mirabai in New York (Part Two) I can’t think of you as something I need to get. Or keep. That would ruin everything. And I ruin everything. Wait. I take that back. I can’t decide which is sweeter: the name I call you, or the one your parents do: […]
-+*This poem is in three sections, but parts two and three I cannot access yet due to technical difficulties but I’ll try again. Also, the spacing is… bigger than it should be. When I cut and paste from Word to WordPress it makes everything double-spaced/oddly spaced. ** Mirabai in New […]
-+*A little gloom for the Moon in Capricorn today: Venus square Saturn (Aquarius to Scorpio) is not exact until Monday but you sensitives are already feeling this I’m sure. This aspect has rejection written all over it. Meaning, you feel this way, whether it’s true or not. Read at your own […]
-+*Going through the old poems, ones that I haven’t even posted here… I can see clearly how many of the poems fail. They have beginnings or ends but are not fully realized. Something is missing. This is not necessarily a bad thing. And the work did change over the years. […]
-+*I’ve barely begun my 30 poems in 30 days and I’ve hit a wall. Had trouble locating the other thumb drive and then… Oh. Wait. Here’s a little one. A Little Poem for Sunday. ** After Death Well, there were some things I liked about being in a body. I liked […]
-+*On the message board, one of the gals pulls a Tarot card or two or three each day and sometimes I follow suit. Sometimes I don’t want to know! Today I got a lovely spread and my intention was to draw for *me* but also the essence of the day, […]
-+*Damn. To successfully (i.e. accomplish) my 30 poems in 30 days, I will need to return to the old computer which is slow and more than slow. It’s sick. I need a Geek Squad. Note to self: head to Staples. And to any new readers who are finding me: yes, […]
-+*I used to keep track of everything. Journals, diaries, my inner world. Pluto has just entered (well, is on the cusp) of my 5th House and Pluto’s transit through my 4th saw me moving a lot and throwing a lot away. So last night when I was looking through the […]
-+*I’m in a mood. A Jupiter (almost) direct, Mars (almost) in Pisces mood 🙂 And I found myself this evening sticking the old thumb drive into the newish Mac to take a look at the old poems I have saved. I lost a lot during my Saturn transit. Not my […]
