Hot Toddy

what makes a jessica wilson cocktail?
i am not sure how to make one...

i know there are definitely 3 parts bright neon lights
2 parts sleazy
4 parts comfortable
1 part curiosity

how tranquil?
any part peaceful?

of course...

maybe, for now, a tossed salad.
let's see, there is a little Pine tree
sprinkled with pixie powder
bright green moss landscaping the piers
tiers to the bright sky light
reflecting on supple brown skin
tendered to taste.

add a palm tree or two,
rows of eucalyptus and  manzanillo trees
orchards of manzanillo, actually,
and vineyards
and cherry trees
long daffodils.
I want an orchard in my heart.
Growing away from fear,
dependency, misfortune.
Free from oppression and religion
archaic democracy
dogma.
I want to capitalize on me.
enjoy the breeze.
always the sea
tilting side to side
it puts me to sleep
to peace
the sea
the tree
a forest
a forest
free.

I sought the eyes of her face; along with their color, and holding smile. She traced me along the footprint I patted down; little girl beating brown; a tiny hand of mud.

Ways You Can Support 💜 Dear Friends, As I navigate some meaningful transitions this season, I’m reaching out with gratitude and humility. If you feel called to support, here are a few ways your kindness could truly help me and my little family right now: Help us get to León (August 14–21) so the kids and I can spend our birthday week together with loved ones. Contribute to our August rent — a little breathing room would mean a lot. Share resources or curriculum for advanced elementary studies — I’m homeschooling! Help me enroll in an advanced Spanish class. Support with vehicle tag renewal costs. Haircuts for the kiddos. New clothing for the little ones — they grow so fast! Help organizing and decluttering at home. Let me know if your address can be a reliable business address for LAPS correspondence. Let me know if you have a safe space to store a few treasured keepsakes from the kids’ (and my) childhood. Help us host a community birthday c...

Starting a Voyage --- NaPoWriMo 2019

- Sharing a poem a day - National Poetry Month April 1: (no title) Be in your self. Skin in and around the hidden   and deep, sharing and exposed, in a place only time remembers. Jessica M. Wilson April 2: Grab somebody  & show them your laughter. April 3: Grab a bag and put 20 poets in it. That's us in a rush -- 20 under 60; no time for mic check. Jessica M. Wilson (reading on a budget)  #timeclockawareness April 4: Twisted This is me: lonely, thinking if what I am giving you is enough -- to hold my eyes shake my hand understand me. To laugh and play along; pick a part out of this script, until you are able to show me enough of you is what I need, to stop needing an approval of where I belong. Jessica M. Wilson 4/4/19  5:09pm
