About Me

Photo Baby

I'm a kid who never thought she'd be married or a mom.
Now I'm both.
And that's just fine with me.

For My Bubby

February 14th, 2008

Steady hands, honest gazer

I crave to etch words in your marble

 

Love to make my mark

where it shall remain

and if it

peaks

dips

circles

 

You’ll touch the infinite cast edges

 

And when I turn away

And when I shut it out

And when I wretch –

to what?

 

I don’t know

 

The conviction

despite feeble veneer

is carved nonetheless

 

And when what I say is love

crazily makes its loop

again and again

 

it’s still a loop

 

gaining strength on many returns

 

and when you wonder

run fingers over the stone

 

know this unbounded love

tries not to be

hesitant

unplugged

booming

raging

 

But sometimes I forget

and sometimes I forget

 

Then: marble
