Getting Hitched

Years go by
and still
I will be saying

take my hand
and

do you want dessert?
and

let's go look at the moon tonight.

CAN'T SLEEP

Everything's happening so
fast, I can only see
the waking light
before I wake.

With solice in the
night, I come to a
place that has never
come to me before.

I am scared,
there is no ending.

I am solitude,
there is no fright.

I am wild in my skin
jumping at the turns
of the night.

I am shaken
over and over again

like a child's nightmare,
like a child's dream.

So...

My car is haunted and acts on it's own free will. I tore the door apart today to unplug the cycling lock motor and had a horrible time getting the thing undone.

Tonight I dream of a nicer car...

how did the line go it heathers?

"let me dream of a world without heathers" replace heathers with "malfunctioning doorlocks" and you'll see what I am saying...

Things are going well lately. I am working through the new poems and that makes me feel productive. I also finished the big new painting and am actually really happy with it after some frustrating turns in the process.

Went out to Breakfast today with Katie at Bintliff's. It was so good but walking back home up State street was a killer with such full bellies.

I can't wait for it to be nice out so I can spend more time outdoors. I want to be outside more this year and really enjoy Maine for all it has to offer is the spring and summer. There are so many great beaches and trails to explore. I think next weekend maybe we will hike Morse's Mountain. It is a small mountain just outside of Bath, near Popham Beach. It is great because you hike through a path that goes through the woods, and after about 20 minutes you come to a clearing and there is the ocean. It is really secluded and beautiful. Most people don't go there because of the hike, and because Popham is so close, but it is worth it.

I am very happy right now,
it is kind of hard to get used to, this overall contentment.

I am not used to things working out so well.

I just hope this goodness continues for a while...

Well, I should be at work right now, I have an eleven to seven shift, but I can't get motivated to go. The reason is I have almost finished a new painting, which I started last night around 11pm and worked on until 3am and then got up and worked from 9am til now, and I just don't want to leave it. I am so close to being done that I think be a little late to work to finish...

and it's my friday, so...

it should be a good day...

Well, after running around like crazy. Back and forth to Brunswick many times, my car can actually be called an automobileagain.

Hey, check out this great drawing Elizabeth did. She has a real talent for carictures(sp?).

Other news...

I will be playing music on Sunday with some fellas that work at the Pizza place next to my work. I will be bringing my bass and electric guitars. I am ready to rock. It should be darn fun! Maybe that band will materialize after all...

Poem for Today (not for yesterday)
Let's be determined
without the pressure
of what the years have
piled upon us.

From the light of the yellow
streetlamp I see what I
could not make out in the
darkness before.

Let's be deaf to the
cry of our pasts
and open our hands
to hold our hands together.

From within our destined
mirror comes a reflection
so familiar it must have been
growing in our hearts all along.

The fog this morning was amazing. I went out on my front steps and felt the mist against my face. There was an earthy spring-like fragrance in the air, which was very hopeful...
