prescribed stroll


lost & found

 

I lost my work pass six months ago, or so, in a cab.

 

The other day I found a lost message on Facebook.

 

It had been found. I had been found.

 

But I didn’t see the message.

 

Work in progress. Still pretty lost.

keeping it together


hBg in Paree!

Twenty or so years ago Paris and I met. Despite best efforts, the meeting was awkward at best.

I will spare you the tragedy of my early nineties homestay (i.e. commute) to and from Livry-Gargan to Gambetta whilst navigating the fresh horror of the tragic separation of my then thirteen-year-old harp playing exchange partner Vincent’s insane parents… Ahem…

It never quite felt right.  How could a girlie like me, ME, have beef with Paris?

So I went back sola to settle the score. Mission accomplished. Here are my reflections …on, …of, …in Paris.

Merci Paris. À la prochaine…

ideal?

the gold is wrinkled and worn.  but its scars tell a story.  one I would much rather hear frankly.

sending love to any shiny spirit who was ever made to feel less than beautiful.

o canada

my home and native land

I spent your day strolling through mega fauna and snap snap snapping.

gawd keep you glorious and free!
o canada, seriously, stand on guard for thee.


…why, oh why, can’t I?

how summer did rise

howling at dawn, listening

snow was morning breath

Thanks for the kick in the rear.
