Hearing herself on CD

When her voice leaves her
body, recorded, it’s a
stranger who comes out.

Passing health care reform

Status on Facebook:
“Watching CSPAN.” Many like
seeing sausage made.

Prodigal daughter

She’s coming home, train
speeding through the heartlands, back
to where we miss her.

Fountain pen

A small indulgence:
nibs, inkwells,  hand writing in
a click to print world.

Project Runway

Cut pin stitch fabric
stretch confines of clothing to
become catwalk art.

Women artists

Hands on hip, baby,
sketchbook. Diapering, drawing,
birthing creation.

Friendship

She may have faults but
to me she’s flawless, a me
I wish I could be.

Impatience

Why they don’t do it
my way I can’t understand
’cause I’m always right.

Early daffodils

Like green periscopes
tiny shoots peer from muddy
beds searching for sun.

Daylight savings spring ahead

Night pushed back, a dark
blanket kicked aside as the
sun stays wide awake.
