A sneeze

 sometimes i forget i am an individual

myself

a person of thought mind... this dormant stone that i once recognized as a levvy to my voice.


well, i found myself back here; and it's always joyful when i am.

thinking of the Chief --- Michael Rothenberg -- may you forever rest in power. 

time is so fleeting... i can't believe he is not breathing anymore. 

it really makes your heart hit the floor.

i am saddened for Terri -- the missus -- the visionary. Ometeotl


i think of all this time and all these weeks that smooth into the other...

just an hum on the old loin cloth

life covering the bounty of the more knowing.

what of an unblessed discovery? is it equal to a random squished realization that is discovery, swiftly in 10 seconds?


a quick blessing, like a sneeze.

it flies, you blink, goodbye.




(that was the exact moment).

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.

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...
