Angel in My Kitchen

Is it me or does this moth look strikingly like an angel. It greeted me this morning.

Pennies Not From Heaven

  No fortune, only pennies exploded on the floor. It all came to a head. And her mother wouldn’t die. She shattered the water bottle filled with pennies. They were everywhere in the room. She wasn’t going to pick them up. They can clean it when I'm gone. It’s a mess. This house has never been a mess and now she was going to fill it. Everything had to be clean and contained no matter the cost. Nothing out of place. What will I do when you are gone? The fight is not over because you are gone. I will forever be haunted by your disapproval, your rigid anger. Your scathing hate. And there she was in that house. That very clean house, where disregard had been defiance. Lightning. Hate. Love. Obligation. Fear. The tedium, the rage. Surrender. But to what. The man on the mower in the middle of the street. Oblivious. The man, entitled to his mower and his movement.

Lord Have Mercy

The Blue Crayon

The Blue Crayon The blue crayon was worn down about half way. The paper jacket it wore was ripped down along the side but  still held what remained. It was her favorite crayon. She couldn’t help herself. Even though she knew, if she didn’t stop using it, there wouldn’t be any of it left. But the sky is blue and my eyes are blue and the water is blue, so I need it. Well, you could put some clouds in the sky. You know white puffy ones and maybe some gray or black clouds. And you could put an island in the water with trees and some fish and turtles. Then you could use the other colors. But I like what I did. Yeah. I know and it is beautiful. And you really did a good job. I’m just saying there are other colors in the box. And maybe somebody else might use the blue crayon. I know but if they do, then I won’t have it. And it is my favorite color.
