i lean over the sink to brush my teeth i press my hips against the counter to feel them there and to think about them being what they are: these bones this system. to think about them wildly. i press hard and you are working beside me with a knife that is shining - my corner eye catches the flickers of your excitement. this heavenly preparation. and you are feeding this house. my bones. my belly. you are feeding all the hungry animals and i am amazed. and i am frightened. i think how brave. or, how now? and it does not mind or matter, it does not because you are working beside me with a knife and i am confirming our makeup with my hips and we are happening. |

Happening indeed! This (to me) reads as a confirmation of "self" and "place" Love the wordplay too! Nice to read you once again |

Amazing. Truly excellent. I haven’t any conscious concrete notion of what you’re talking about and it doesn’t in the least matter. You have a masterpiece; an absolute work of art. Truly remarkable, I never expected. John P.S. I just read you other postings; I will be watching for you. |

i wish there were a way to come in and say thanks for reading/comments and all without pulling this back to the front page - (but then i suppose, how would anyone receive it). thanks for your words,...your kindness, for reading what leaves me. |
