My favorite thing by Lincoln the Cat
I love to sit and watch the water swirl
as all the little bits and pieces
disappear.
The porcelain feels so good against
my paws.
I wait . . .

Grasping for straws and searching for treasure,
Leaping to the moon.
Looking for silver linings and wishing on a star,
My heart keeps coming back to you.
Turning over a new leaf, starting a . . .

Seven days of rainfall
Gray skies, wind, mud, lack of sun
Turns my brain to mush.
II
Green leaves cry raindrops,
Birds huddle, hiding in trees.
Cat wistfully watching.

The rain came through tonight and
washed away the stickiness of a hot June day.
Along with the breeze came a memory of you
carried along on the scent of honeysuckle
outside my bedroom window. . . .

Slow Down
My baby boy will be twenty nine in eleven more days.
I am not old enough to have a son that old.
His baby boy started pre-school today, following
behind his older sisters, the baby . . .

Sun Salutation
I lay in wait for the chirps of the
first morning birds,
a sense of anticipation and hope
in the dawn of a new day
draws me out of bed to the
fog of an early Fall morning. . . .

What happened to the youthful days
when bedtime meant falling onto the sheets
in the wee hours of the morning,
mascara streaks across the pillowcase,
too tired to wash face
after dancing and . . .

There is a loneliness that comes with a new attraction,
a reminder of closeness, kind words, intimate secrets,
of loves come and gone and mourned in the dark
spaces of nights spent . . .

You may ask me very seriously,
"Why are you up at such an early hour?"
"You have no cows to milk, chickens to feed,
nor a dog to walk? The sun has not even
started its . . .

I have a little brother,
he is a pain in the ass.
He attacks me at least once an hour
and always gives me gas.
He likes to stick his head in the toilet,
and run all over the house
I wish he would . . .

Slowly, graceful wings
Softly touch the still water.
Peace on quiet lake.

Cool, late summer breeze carries
the scent of rain and fresh cut grass
into the old church as the trio plays
Beethoven with passion and life.
I watch and wonder as the pages turn,

Where do skinny women put their children?
I mean, how do you carry a child when you have
no hips on which to rest his sweet bum?
How . . .

Oh, my darling daughter,
dry your tears and learn
that love lies to those
who choose to yearn
for those men that
cannot love in return.

Curves
We may think life is a line but
Life is a juxtaposition of curves.
Straight lines limit our thinking.
We can't see other paths when
We only look straight ahead.
Curves are sensual. . . .

Sunday Psalm
Citronella and sweat
are my Sunday morning perfume.
Dressed in favorite shoes
I enter the sacred temple.
The mountain rises before me,
granite shining in . . .

Do you remember the rainy nights of skin on . . .

The rain and fog
barely mute the colors of the season
surrounding lake and stream.
Jewels of carmine and gold

amidst the trees of my home.
My mountain, . . .

I have lost about 65 pounds in the past four months. One of the best things about this is that I now fit comfortably in the old fashioned claw foot tub I have in my apartment. I am in heaven. . . .
