like sandpaper that went for a walk

Gerald rainbows and gauche


Patti smith sings a song
To her dead husband
honoring him
loving him

I am grateful for those who
help me heal My old stupid wounds
And walk through
with me
and let me hold onto them at night

I am growing
Not like a beard
But like a heart


Joanne Howey and her gravel mouthed unconditional love
Dead leaves
Gerald Formosa
Cheese that smells like an armpit
Sleeping at the back of the bus
Public washrooms
Signs that show me where to go
Old old friends that keep coming back
My one last alive plant
Jon jon jon how I love jon


Joni Mitchell:
Don’t it always seem to go,
That you don’t know what you got til it’s gone

my dear friend maryam
Who led me to many good books
And shared her good food and love with me
Onion herbs rices radish chocolate tea
For being a wonderful teacher
And becoming my friend
And sharing her children with me and
For gifting me with a salad spinner
