2023 AWAKENING xxvii

  1. sadness—
    seeds inside this body
    withering
  2. mum’s belly is now in full flower
  3. mum’s belly
    where amongst the clouds
    does the baby find lodging?
  4. exposed breasts buds swell while i gaze from afar
  5. silver dewdrops
    when might they dry?
    this river of my tears
  6. bellies swell
    and become phases
    of the moon
  7. hungry baby
    sucking the moonlight…
    breastfeeding
  8. wandering from my breast
    not in a trickle, but
    in a milky torrent
    breast-milk
  9. expectant belly
    oh, that the moon tonight
    droops down and down
  10. swollen breast dreaming on my pillow
  11. swollen breasts
    pillowed by white clouds
    am i

    a sliver of sunlight
    beneath its nappy

    nappies on the playground
    motionless

2023 AWAKENINGS -ii

  1. gibbous moon–
    baby on her back
    sleeping
  2. clenching a fist
    the nursing baby
    raising a day moon
  3. the nursing baby
    opens its mouth…
    an abyss
  4. snowball
    the moment a baby
    curls up to sleep

    directly from the faucet
  10. waterfall hot water from the faucet

Work Observations Part II…

What is time to the working servicing class? What is enjoyment of the mass consuming horde? I do hope you, dear reader(s) are enjoying these little delights as much as I have relish in creating them. 😉

full moon…
it is a lump
of cooked rice
upon a dinner plate

crooked moon…
a bag of rice
boils

moon viewing…
floating slowly
a bag of boiling rice

boiled eggs
being scooped
phases of the moon

phases of the moon
I add croutons
to the salad

snowflakes…
between baby’s fingers
cooked rice

April snow
cooked rice squeezed
in baby’s hands (7a)

warm snow
squeezed in baby’s hands
cooked rice (7b)

avalanche
a service dog eyes
spilt milk

spilt milk
rushes down the bottle’s edge
