Pain
Some things, simply, hurt.
A bruise, a twinge, slight misstep.
Some things tear your soul.
If you are too late to enter your haiku, then please
remember to go back to Sparrow's and vote on Thursday.
DEADLINE for voting is 10 PM.
UPDATE: WooHoo...I won!!

Far and away...
I attend well
to word and nuance.
form photos
in my mind
of your smile and
your eyes while
you tell me of
your day, and your life.
though nowhere near,
you are here
when I hear your voice
or see your words.

letter to my Self...
stay with me
as I need you most
more than any other
in the present ever.
allow what is in me
to be
awake and seeing
all I am and have.

hot summer night...
a rivulet of sweat
undulates down your cheek
and neck,
makes its way
slowly over your
pulsing chest toward
your belly. I stop it
with my tongue
and you are hard again.

Beneficiary...
I think about you
almost never
these days.
much less than
once in a while.
funny that, don't
you think, all
those tears
washed my eyes
and let me see,
there is, after all,
life after left over.

shitshitshitIhatespiders!
Sunnavabeyotch.
So much for sleeping tonight. Anybody wanna chat?
I was so looking forward to some sweet slumber.
Took a nice, cool shower. Put on a clean white wife-beater.
Curled up on clean sheets, enjoying the fan blowing on me...
AND THEN... I see IT.
A long-legged, kinda brownish SPIDER at least five inches across,
on the wall under the window, no more than two feet from my face.
Who says size doesn't matter??
Some impressive freaking ensued.
Managed to run to the pantry without breaking a leg, grab a can
of something, return to the bedroom. Carefully. Slowly. Approach.
SPRAY!!!!!
The basstid runs across the wall... and falls. Ha! Take that!
Oh. Shit.
It's back on the wall. SPRAY. Fall.
Dammit, it's staggering up the side of the bed!
Fuck this. I'm going for the big guns.... HAIRSPRAY.
Hairspray and a clothes hanger to beat his ass.
SPRAY. SPRAY. SPRAY.
He falls again.
I verrrrrry carefully...still armed, mind you... peek over the
edge of the bed.
What do I see? A big pile of very sticky books.
No spider. Dammit.
I don't see it anywhere. Wait.
I hear a noise. Something is moving at the end of the bed.
Looking. Looking.
I see nothing. The noise stops.
I'm now standing in the middle of the bed, scoping the perimeter.
It's quiet. Still no visual on the arachnid.
If it isn't dead, it's very pissed. And sticky. And stiffening.
I hope.
So, now I'm sitting yoga-like on the corner of the bed farthest
from the last sighting. And not happy. Still armed.
Doing a repeated visual sweep of the entire room.
I now have a headache and I'm sweating.
Nothing. It's been an hour. No-thing!
Ain't no way in hayyyul this broad is closing her eyes tonight.
Gather up notebook, cigarettes, cell phone. Head to the computer room.
Make first cup of strong coffee.
I have to be at work...preferably alert... at seven ay em.
It is now 1:30 ay em.
Pity my co-workers.

This is not October, is it?...
Shit, it's miserable-bad hot.
Well, more too humid than too hot, I guess.
Whatever it is, it's sucking any interest in posting here
right out the window.
Plus... a school chum came to town for the races this
weekend and is spending most of the week on the
beach. So, I've been visiting a bit with her and her friends.
I didn't mean to ignore you this long, my lovelies.
I'm a bad girl.
When does the spanking start?

Independence Day...
When we've finished the hot dogs and beer
and come home from watching the fireworks,
I highly recommend reading "The Long Road Home".
Have a good weekend.
