Scene 2Dressed only in her undergarments, she knelt on the floor, then leaned forward onto the seat of the chair, her head resting on the back. She drew in a deep, slow breath, let it out, and waited.   
    The first blow came soon after.   
    God was mad at her. That was the excuse her father used whenever she found herself in this situation. God was mad at her and He called on her father to punish her. It seemed that God, Himself, was averse to hitting girls, but had no problem asking their fathers to do so. And he'd always claim that he didn't want to do it, but "...you just don't dis Scene 2

Bluecollar LamentI am not unhappy  Simply unfulfilled  I want for more  Because there is more to be had  Like all humans  I am not happy with what I have  The push for more  Is an urgent one  It is hard to resist the call of materialism  When it seems the most shallow  And superficial amongst us  Receive the greatest rewards  Though I believe in the promises  Of a greater here-after  Is it so wrong to want for some comfort  In the here and now  I do not wish to be wealthy  Obscene houses and expensive cars  Have never gotten my attention  Nor do I want to live leisu Bluecollar Lament

The Deacon St. QueenShe sits on her porch swing  A tattered paper fan in one hand  Cold sweet tea in the other  There's a competition  Between her and the glass  For who can sweat more  She's winning  Dressed in her Sunday best  Still wearing her pearls  Though the white gloves were neatly stashed away  As soon as she got in from church  Her not-fooling-anyone wig still snug on her head  And her fishnet veiled hat rests next to her   
Slouching slightly  Legs cocked at ungainly angles  But not so much to be unladylike  She waves the fan back and forth  Trying to drive away The Deacon St. Queen

Speed Writing: Take 4I sit in the withering heat  Waiting for my daily dose  Of artificial pleasantness to kick in  And I wonder  If the new me will be the real me  And will I recognise her face  After having been apart for so long  Happiness has always been a brief visitor  I don't know if we can live together  How do you ease into it  When there is someone else living in your skin  I've seen with the same eyes for so long  Will I be able to trust my vision after this  I don't want rose colored glasses  Any more than I want fun-house mirrors

I'm here...but I'm not

Wed Feb 27, 2008, 7:48 PM
Yeah, I've gone and fallen off the face of the earth again.

I just haven't been doing a lot of writing (or much else creative) lately. Now that my daughter's in school I've been catching up on all the reading I haven't been able to do for the past few years (I've gone through about 10 books since January...and only that few because I didn't get a chance to go to the library for a while). I'm going through a creative dry spell of sorts. Not a block. Just nothing really hits me lately. Not even unfinished bits and pieces. I'm thinking I'm just ready for a new medium. Maybe. Maybe I'm just a lazy ass. *shrug*

But I'm still alive for those who care.

I occasionally espouse my opinion on random things on my blog [link]
