13 ways to look at a blackbird.....VII

O thin men of Haddam,

Why do you imagine golden birds?

Do you not see how the blackbird 

Walks around the feet 

Of the women about you?

-Wallace Stevens

sky's first day of fifth grade

One life

But we're not the same

We get to carry each other

Carry each other

One

Hope

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that.  Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.  Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction....The chain reaction of evil - hate begetting hate, wars producing more wars - must be broken, or we shall be plunged into the dark abyss of annihilation.", Martin Luther King, Jr.

you inhaled

a thousand bird wings rang in my ear

you exhaled

a thousand birds cried in the air

you - a blackbird

flying through my head

and nested in my heart

Letting go....

Sometimes you (I) just can't.

Let go

of the past.

Dallas

Well, here we are in Dallas.  I miss my funny little boy.  

The weather is cloudy and not too hot.  Yesterday, Sparky and I both played poker, but didn't fare well at all in the tournament.  

But I did win $85 in the cash game, which was pretty fun.

Texas.........what can I say?
