		<description>Today I wear red, a pin, and a medal.  I am
shrouded in mourning, clinging to prayer
as my siblings and peers gather
on Madison Drive, prepare
to march forward, bound
by sweaters, scarves,
-- faithhopelove --
sustained
by the greatest of these
for the least among us:
unexpected child,
unprepared mother.

Today I wear prodigal hope
as a birthright, not
political entitlement</description>

		<title>A Crumby Mess</title>

		<description>
    
        
            
             The chips have fallen

            on the floor with a crunch 

            and the bowl's clatter. 
             The crumby mess is made worse

            by the party, the celebration, those

            not watching where they're going --

            their footsteps grind potato 

            into dirt into carpet. 
            Where is the maid? 
             We have none for we are poor. 
            Who will tidy the mess? 
             No one: 
             those who see it watch 

            from behind closed windows,

            shake their heads slowly, bowed. 
             Crumbs conceded

            to the dogs, the only hope

            for damage control. 
            Let them eat cake instead.

		<description> On another Tuesday, azure 

skies glowed. Crimson and burnt 

umber had only begun 

to massage green life 

from branches. The morning, crisp,

was warmer than this. 
 Yesterday was Monday, dark,

wet with passive rain.

But today's skies

are clear Carolina blue. 
 On that other Tuesday, black

tainted, flooded, choked

the pristine sky with fear.

Still, blue remained still

here. 
 I wonder if today

will welcome doom

so gracefully. </description>

Yes.

To answer your unspoken question:yes, Ido enjoy my ice creamdaily, sometimesmore, with strawberries, bananas, peanuts,chocolate chips and syrup, whipped cream,jimmies (or &quot;sprinkles&quot; to those of you who don'tspeak Yankee), a cherry on top,and -- mmm-mm --on the side,a dill pickle spear.

		<description>I have no desire to keepa skinless feline, its pelt,or chocolate-covered peanut butter.

I'd rather eat it, wear iton my thighs -- the Reese's I mean,not the messy Chinese food -- than hide itout-of-reach in the cabinetabove the fridge.

I prefer to stuff it wholein my mouth and silentlylet it melt away whilecrossing my fingers tilI'm through that the phone

		<description>Dust if you must, but know if you dothe people who matter care more about YOUthan fuzzy dust bunnies, crumbs on the floor,a ring in the toilet, or prints on the door.

Dust if you must, but don't take too long:more time spent on cleaning means less left for song,tea parties, swimming, hide-n-seek, and crafts,less time for giggles, sticky grins, and laughs.

Dust if you must, but feel no guilt if you don'tbecause munchkins and rugrats simply won'tstay as they are: they'll grow up too fast --unlike those dust bunnies, childhood won't last</description>

		<description> 	If today should happen
to be a prophecy
fulfilled, will not know. 
Nor will you ntil this -- scrawled
in haste and apprehension
on the back of a used envelope --
falls from an unexpected
place, sliding to the ground
with the sigh and stern tap
of paper meeting
floor. </description>

		<description> my south  my south has pulled me
slowly, often
with an undertow grip,
its siren gullsongs
have lured 
my ancestral fates
to its shores 
(beaches of myrtle
heads of hilton, nag)
     before
           my conception
    my south has called me
     called me
called me through blue 
ridged echoes, 
across the new 
river gorge, whispering
greyfog lullabys
     throughout
  my south has tempted,
enticed me to eden,
offered my chilled core 
maybright sunbeams 
in november, september's 
crisp hope in exchange 
     for
          january
  my south has wooed me
with bouquets of trillium, 
oconee bells, smooth false
foxglove, chicory, charmed
me with its tongue, with
its sweet-as-tea words,
warm, relaxed,
     laced
          with sugar
    my south has embraced me
      quietly, gently,
under clear starlittered
skies and wool blankets
amid mountains, under
sanddusted piers lapped
by seafoam, under 
green canopies on beds
of pinestraw and 
has kissed me
     in
       consummation.  ... more  </description>

		<description>it's normal, claimedthe radio psychologist,a primitive defense mechanism,and that if a mothercatches her psyche in the actof toying with the thoughtof dropping her newborn --red-faced-colic or perfect --from a high-rise window,don't worry. Don't worry,she comforted, it's healthy,it's your subconscious's wayof just checking, making sure,you wouldn't do such a thing

you cringewhen you find these shadowsamong your brain-folds,

don't you?

and we pray for ten fingers,ten toes, strong lungs,but our motherhoodis more closely tiedto the fine threads betweenour empathyand disgustfor those who tossthe beauties of their wombs

to work too late to see your son's 
manic waking hours or your third-
