My blog--I pull a card--if it doesn't speak to me...perhaps it is for you?

taking up space on the mothership


I love my face in the morning
no teeth, bed head, the day dawning.
Just a baby-faced naked clown,
I refuse to put myself down.
Crow's feet, double chin, smile and frown lines I embrace.
You just see an old, old woman, I love my face.


I love my body at nighttime,
uncoiled tension, full recline.
What dreams may come I do not know.
Ghosts, phantasms, nightmares come , go..
I am an ecotone, a swamp witch, swamp molly.
Flaccid arms, flabby belly, I love my body.
