Dust....it collects

what else is there to say?

I don't know,

perhaps it is all the collected memories

I roll them up

when I'm ready to fight

I wipe my nose on them when it has run from crying

Sometimes I use them

even to wipe away the tears

I raise them when I'm hot

Bring them down to my finger tips

when I am cold

These sleeves are useful

covering my scares from

acne, sunburn and the bruises

from abuse 

These sleeves are mine,

my protection, my armour

and my barriers.

Hope to be free of discomfort

To live happily

To have less wants

I hope to laugh more

To be jolly, full of life

My hope is grand

It is a new begining

Hope is all I have.

the foster home,

the weekend out with

Wilameana....my child social worker back then

the Franklin Zoo trips,

the tab soda..I used to drink

the chocolate milk I used to cry for,

my new family

meeting my new brothers

and visiting my new house

the excitement

and the sadness of missing mom

I think of the abuse

of my new mother

the absence of my only…

It may not seem like it from the outside, but I've just affected a transition in my writing that means I've now completed 85% of my new novel, with the remainder fully set up to be done in the next couple months... 

  I am SO excited.  I just crashed through a huge barrier that had been holding me back for months.  Woohoo!

Every summer my mother would have the hard wood floors sanded, buffed and finely polished. Someone I can not recall would  remove the sofa. I remember it was by Jennifer furnishings, of light cream color with wide stripes covering its canvas, one stripe darker than the other. The strong wooden desk was moved along with the glass and brass and coffee table set and the small and large potted green plants. The rubber plant, I recall was placed on the back porch off the kitchen's sliding…
