In love with life and all of its foibles.

The fundamental difference between men and women: Men will think I am wearing this shirt because I crave attention Women of a certain age know
Make me a medallion please Cherished symbol of cheerful sacrifice Patron saint of lost Labradors Trusted steward of fledgling bluejays
With halting soft speech I once tried to tell a writer About the language of women Though brilliant, he did not understand
Dirt and flies are no longer your enemies The battle against them lost years ago Grooved floors from a million scrapes Boots and tools set in the back porch.
I pay homage to Marquez, it’s true The only romantic love is unrequited love But there is something to be said for my companion
What is beautiful Is subjective But also, infinitely open timeless A Tango foot Calculated creeping up a calf Forain in an empty gallery
Well intended, but uniformed Bo says this with gentle admonition For my loving blunder I will rearrange my life
Ride the plane equivalent of a minivan Slumber in trailers with dirty sheets, but big windows Northern lights unfold and undulate
Hold yourself together So you don’t explode Inside of you is a universe Constantly expanding Be gentle with yourself
