A New Generation of Hope

Nu's very stern letter to Gov. Snyder.

I didn't think her line, "This is the last time I'm telling you,"

would be conducive to a dialogue.

Elections 2016

This or that--
I'm running away or
slowing/throwing down

in uncanny dashes
to interpret patches
of plaster and verse

But words in my mouth--
a delicate wheel of anger
will--still--demand love

Ride Home

O.K.
Actually, 

just needed it

to tidy my office a bit.

Hell Yeah!

What type of feminist (or anti-feminist) are you?

(Take the quiz. Do it! Do it!)

The Drop-off

"Later."
Their bodies hurtling
planet-like
in entangled orbits
of school, activities,
space

Till they return just in time
still the same
slightly changed
don't go
(don't die)
don't grow (so fast)

The passing touch
of their known hands
surges, deluges,
cracks open my heart.
I've never been easier to love.

This happened

I want to drop all the things I carry

I want to touch everything

Is there a world

under the snow

I want to know it

9:00 p.m. (Older Group Cuddle)

Scout took my lap,

so At took my feet.

(The younger ones

go to bed at 8:00.)
