    My Muse is a Bastard

    March 21, 2021 /

    I wish you wouldn’t insist on waking me Early every morning, fingers in my hair, Sweet words on your lips An inch from my ear. I rise from bed, drunk, Full, ripe, words ready to spill forth; Yet, as soon as pen touches paper, They lighten, transform to cotton candy. And melt away gently in the rain, Leave me…

    A colossus in the currents With claws drifting serenely down And green-gold eyes Seeing, but not revealing. Try explaining to that grinning mouth The merits of followers, likes on selfies, And checking “just one more” work email. We rush manically, frantically, As though we’re expected at our funerals Ten full years before the Reaper calls. Planned days laid out…

    Let me not be a flower, With delicate blooms the sheerness of dreams, And a fondness for gentle touches, Or the longing to have my scent admired. Instead, let me be a comet Streaking through the night sky,  Unashamed of my fire; dazzling, daring all to see. And yet….mysterious. Cold. Untouchable.  – Sara Myriad

    Farewell to Summer

    When my grandpa died, soon after my grandma, I drove up north with my husband, Thinking about an ice cream shop Where children sat and ordered real sodas That melted sticky sickly-sweet with ice cream. Of antique shops with names like Carousel, Matched by charming interiors. Or the flea market Only open on weekends, But I had all the…

    And when I leave you,  It won’t be the gradual chill of winter mornings  Found in the beginning of the season, When berries hang fat and red on their stems And birds puff up their feathers,  Like old men hunched down in woolen scarves and mittens Lovingly made by old women. It will be a plunge into icy water, …

    I could circle you, ravenous, and take you as my prey, But I would rather roll onto my back gentle as clouds and let you have me under that watching blue sky. Control is an illusion but I keep reaching for it, Perhaps I’ve been waiting for the caress of words; the intoxicating loss of control. The muse imprisoned,…

Maybe I would be braver With my head in the clouds, If I knew my roots were deep as heartbeats. Maybe I would find myself beautiful With my russet bark,…

    If you are a lake, (or any deep body of water, really)…. Please be wary of mirrors. You may see the smooth, glassy surfaces of these people and assume that they are like you, underneath. However, in time, you will realize what you thought were unplumbed depths, waiting to be explored lovingly, are nothing but your own emotions being…

Spring is around the corner, and I’m feeling the Spring is around the corner, and I’m feeling the urge to do some spring cleaning. Not books, mind you, but friendships and acquaintances that no longer mesh with my energy. ✂️ I try to embrace change; sometimes it’s easy. Sometimes it’s not. 

I wish strength for y’all to cut ties where needed, too.

I was going to show my new spoon bookmark (in the I was going to show my new spoon bookmark (in the right corner), but it turned into focusing more on the cover of this book. 😅 Van Gogh is beloved by so many, and I’m one of them. His struggles with mental health, the sincere and deep joy he felt in the every day beauty of things, touches my heart in a way not many people manage to do. So, no horror today. Just appreciation for a true artist. 

Incidentally, the quote on the spoon is one of my very favorites.

Got this vintage paperback from @lanecrioteca and Got this vintage paperback from @lanecrioteca and it came with a super cool bonus: an old receipt (?) from none other than Strand Bookstore in NY! 

I love finding things like that in old books; one of my other favorites is a collection of mysteries with a lovingly handwritten note from the giver to the recipient on the front page.

Found a couple of treasures at #halfpricebooks tod Found a couple of treasures at #halfpricebooks today. I had a credit with HPB for some books I’d traded in, then promptly turned around and got more books. Super pleased to add both of these to my collection. I like how the Dracula book has a protective cover (I believe it’s the first edition from 1977). And look at that art on the Masters book. 😱😱 Swipe through to see the spine and back of the book. It’s a little worn, but still gorgeous. 

I’m a huge fan of anthologies because I can try a little of everything. I would love to hear any suggestions y’all have for good collections to check out!

My grandma died last year; today would have been h My grandma died last year; today would have been her birthday. I alternate between days where I am able to be happy she isn’t suffering, and then there are days like today, where I miss her terribly. 
She’s gone. My grandpa is gone. The farm where my mom grew up, and I spent part of my childhood, is gone. How strange it is, to think such a huge part of my life is over. 

Eventually, the years without them, will be greater than the number of years I had with them. But right now, I can still see every detail in my mind. Right now, they’re so close I can feel them in my heartbeats.
I know not everyone uses wall #calendars anymore, I know not everyone uses wall #calendars anymore, but I LOVE THEM. I love having pretty things to look at, whether it’s pinups, fantasy art, cute food illustrations (for the kitchen, of course), or in this case, photos of places I would rather be.

I am a fan of all the classic Christmas movies——both Home Alones, The Grinch, White Christmas, A Muppet Christmas Carol.....but Krampus has become a yearly tradition, too. It’s so much fun, yet has eerie moments (the snowmen....yikes). Somehow, even though the mail is seriously delayed right now, I was able to get a replacement copy in the mail within a week.
