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.

When everyone was quarantined, I felt like

  "When everyone was quarantined, I felt like..."           I was caged,  my cord cut,            the outside was in,       and I  wasn’t ready for that. I felt like I was out of time                 – no way to re-plan my life,  no way to be by anyone’s side. I like mapping the scene,     feel heat amongst a crowd,  and now, to stay away from them,  I have to hide. Close myself off  my nature,  to enjoy parties  dancing, all the things               feel more alive…  When that door shut, a hurricane hit. JMWC 9/22/20 from class, Panorama High School, 2020

my brain is completely flooded i've rode this train before to a journey laden in cumbersome foot-stomps catching my frolic to the ground, tumbling over some man's arms, thick-legged brawn there is a part of me that says, 'you're too old for this'... maybe to know better is to be declarative and surrender to the certainties in life. however certain and present, the tornado will  follow. it's better to live submissive instead of dismissive to the velocity of life held out in front of you... like the last banana in the fruit bowl, or that chocolate cake you just want to lick. bowl to casket. each motion a delight.

In Honor of Mother Earth

Happy Earth Month!  Right now, we see the blossoms opening, the vines ripening -- the sweet smell of Spring is here! Congratulations to everyone for making it out of the darkness, in this frigid air... the dew of the damp Earth has sprouted many blessings.  Rake up the gentle soil and bring her into your circle. Let the abundance flow into your circle; enjoy the fragrance of your harvest. I wanted to offer up this powerful song; Madre Tierra , by Maya Jupiter. Her message is steady and daring to be spoken into the ears of all who dwell on and know Mother Earth.  Speak righteously, and take care. ~ Jessica ~
