Not a lesbian. Thanks for the sex hair.

There is a place.

A magical place, full of warmth, where the smells of citrus and jasmine waft over you.

A place where naked women sink slowly into steaming pools of relaxation.

A place called… Burke Williams.

The Smoke Detector That Broke The Camel’s Back.

There is only so much a person can take.

Human beings (yes, mommies too) are fragile, as much as we don’t like to admit it.  We disregard this fact. We push it deep down and pretend to be super heroes. We call it “necessity”, because after all, someone needs to take care of the house, feed the family, change the diapers, walk the dogs, keep the doctor appointments, buy the groceries, enforce nap times, wipe the noses, do the laundry, do the ironing, schedule the play dates, and generally keep the world spinning.

Leaving…

yearning…

the door

the front door

the knob taunts me from afar

the toddler wrestles me

earth shattering cries…

cries, cries, cries of socks

where’s the letter Z?

the letter Z will help

goodnight, goodnight, a thousand times goodnight moon

shoe on the foot
