Milkwood
"Listen. It is night moving in the streets, the processional salt slow musical wind in Coronation Street and Cockle Row, it is the grass growing on Llareggub Hill, dewfall, starfall, the sleep of birds in Milk Wood."

Stuck in traffic...forever... in The Town of Llareggub
Funny how a message I sent an hour and twenty minutes ago feels like it’s from a different world. Perhaps that’s just a lovely testament to how relaxed I feel now to be home, have picked up some...
Just a thought... in The Town of Llareggub

White Glaze in The Town of Llareggub
The word scarlet is beautiful. I always picture the color with a velvety texture. A red you can feel. I picture a wall I can just nestle into… Last night, I painted my fingernails with a very ...
A Thought Before Bed... in The Town of Llareggub

...All that and a Chocolate Cherry Cake in The Town of Llareggub

...Thinking about Janis... in The Town of Llareggub
Ah, it’s a taupe tank top and lavender denim short kind of day… Ultra casual, grocery store kind of day, but with a pinch of color and desired happiness. Gold sandals shining in the sun and litt...

In Defense of Love at First Sight in The Town of Llareggub
I’ve seen so many people say today that they do not believe in love at first sight. A question on this survey that’s been going around. I’m sure there are some “yes” answers out there, but I’ve...
Three Times in The Town of Llareggub
Movie Still of the Night showing in the still of the night…I’ve seen this movie maybe twice before, once nine years ago and once maybe three or four years ago, and still somehow can’t remember th...
Four Margaritas and a Lost Soul... in The Town of Llareggub
Dark rose pink modal slip with white lace at the cups, my legs stretched out lengthwise on the couch, and this kid who looks like Napoleon Dynamite on my tv screen in a blue van with a giant hot ...
“Winds in the east Mist coming in Like something is brewing About to begin Can’t put my finger On what lies in store But I feel what’s to happen All happened before.” Mary Poppins was a favorite...
The Red Ones Were My Favorites... in The Town of Llareggub
A woman on an old black and white tv show just said, “Death makes even an ugly soul beautiful.” And I stopped and took a breath. The skin on my hands feels tight as my wrists and fingers stretch...
My Only Friend in The Town of Llareggub
Heard this song maybe eleven years ago while I was walking down a city sidewalk one overcast and gorgeously solitary afternoon. Had loaded all these cds I’d just bought onto one of my first ipo...
Pink Petals in Pockets... in The Town of Llareggub
Yesterday I went to this little cafe in this lush faux-gated community (anyone who desires can drive through the gates unquestioned) and ordered a sandwich and iced tea and tried to sit outside, ...
The Night of April 27th, 2015 in The Town of Llareggub
Almost morning and this is the first quiet moment I’ve had to myself all day or night. Sitting with a cup of yogurt, blueberry, fruit on the bottom. Blended tends to be sweeter to my tongue, bo...
Stressful Day in The Town of Llareggub
Whenever I miss out on something I wanted to attend, I always think to myself after, Well, who knows? Maybe if I’d gone, something horrible would have happened to me there, or as a consequence o...
Fair Trades in The Town of Llareggub
While unassumingly posing on all fours for him in the bed, he pounced on my back and reached around my chest to clutch my bouncy breasts in his hands very firmly and roughly. So rough, I screame...
Weekend Highlights in The Town of Llareggub
Saturday afternoon. Heard something fall and whipped my head around reflexively while exiting one of the closets, and hit my head really hard against the doorframe. Sat diagonally from him on t...
Live to Tell in The Town of Llareggub
Song that randomly came on my ipod while I was out walking and trying to stealthily maneuver around the likely paths of frightening dangerous-looking people that seemed to just keep coming out of...
Bless Me, Father... in The Town of Llareggub
Head back against the cushion, eyes slit, breath being chased. 5 a.m. pleasure-fest by myself and I love just leaving myself wet and slippery until I manage to get up. Throat and chest feel kin...
Back in Dresses in The Town of Llareggub
In his truck one spring night as the empty black stretch of asphalt rolled out before us, I felt his warm sweaty hand grasp my bare thigh and come to rest on it. I’ve missed touching these whil...
naturalistic attire in The Town of Llareggub
Moonlight tinting the night landscape in dark watercolor washes. When it rains, the colors bleed into each other just a little bit. I dress in water when I am in water. I dress in sunlight when...
candy in The Town of Llareggub
Candy rose jacquard dress from anthropologie online looks like it’s patterned after wood grain that somehow resembles the tops of roses. I catch the side of my little brown tiger’s belly with a ...
Take me to paradise... in The Town of Llareggub
Pulled on little white low-rise panties with miniature beach scenes in muted tropical colors, lots of tiny cabanas and lounge chairs and palm trees and girls in bikinis sunning or carrying surfbo...
