What a Drag it Is Getting Old
Okay folks, crazy lady attitude now explained...after four months of no menstrual cycle, it's baaaaaccccccccckkkkkk. My body has gone insane. There is no longer any rhyme or reason to its functioning. It's like I suddenly walked out the door and got caught in an old age downpour...came back in blind, white haired and eggless. oh well, this blog is going out of commission in six mins. Better end here. Just want to add that airplanes and terrorism from UK to US scaring me witless. Makes me miss my ex-fiancee and hope against hope he is not required to get on a plane to the U.S. any time soon.

Brushing out our daughter’s brown
silken hair before the mirror
I see the grey gleaming on my head,
the silver-haired servant behind her. Why is it
just as we begin to go
they begin to arrive, the fold in my neck
clarifying as the fine bones of her
hips sharpen? As my skin shows
its dry pitting, she opens like a moist
precise flower on the tip of a cactus;
as my last chances to bear a child
are falling through my body, the duds among them,
her full purse of eggs, round and
firm as hard-boiled yolks, is about
to snap its clasp. I brush her tangled
fragrant hair at bedtime. It’s an old
story—the oldest we have on our planet—
the story of replacement.
