Genesis

The sky in June
rises with horns,
my grandmother’s
about her neck in gold,
and sets with chelae, claws,
pincers, the many names

for mother.
A bull gives birth
to a crab, a crab to a ram,
a ram to the cusp
of scorpion and centaur—
the sky grows full
with parturition.

How many names
for this? The looking up.
The summer stars
and all their distant
meaning. The many
names for mother.

How animal
to fit inside
another
and human
to tear our way
back out.

Two cats, a dog, and a little lady, just missing big bro for the full house!

New blog post, finally, first one since becoming a Mama of two: Other women don’t tell Sunday morning can last for days—the best days and the worst in the span of mere hours. From 6am when your 4-year-old son wakes up—not counting your 4-month-old daughter’s nighttime wakings—to 2pm when you manage to get him down for a nap and sit down to nurse the baby, you will feel days have come and gone. Amazing days and horrific ones. Days when your face hurts from too much laughter and ones when your chest aches from fear and ones where your nails dig into your palms from anger. All these days in one November Sunday...

Winter weather has come and brought me one long nap, during which I demolished two lattes, a poetry interview, and another job application! I'll take all the sleep and caffeine please!

"I'll just have the breast please!" (And when that's not readily available, a foot will do!) First snow of the season means it's a perfect day to stay snuggled and scrumptious! Thanks Auntie Stef @keeperofthings for the perfect outfit!

Spiderman Party wish come true for Valen at @ldoc572018, which is pretty much the kids' version of American Ninja Warrior. He bounced off and scaled walls, wielded a wrecking ball (was one at times), and devoured bright red frosting off of three pieces of cake. I'd say we partied hard! Thanks everyone who celebrated with us, for all the wonderful gifts, and most of all, for making Valen feel so special and loved and hugged by so many friends!

Another day celebrating the boy who made me a Mama. So much love!
