I gave life to my 
babes to be part of this world.
Not to keep them from it.
I saw five crows in
the street today. It looked like
they were talking shop.
You know, I don't believe
you, but I do think you're 
telling the truth.

Our children know that 
our spirits are all connected. 
How do we forget?

There's not a day that 
goes by I don't feel trapped by 
that enormous sky.

The moon was a 
crescent, but you could see the outline
of the other half.
All I want to do, 
my lover, is grow super 
stinkin' old with you.
It's too cold for the 
crows, too cold for the pigeons, 
but the squirrels don't mind.

There are some walks that 
need no road and there are some 
walks you take alone.

My husband said once
that he envied me carrying 
our babes in my womb.

If you don't like love
and light in your life then you
won't like me, my friend.

I saw the crows and
they were very quiet. They 
were looking for worms.
There was a song in
the air, but somehow my proud
heart didn't hear it.

Sylvia, dear, I'd 
rather break that fuckin' bell 
jar than live in it.

At winter I miss 
the sun. The sun rising. The 
sun setting. The sun.

They were right to say, 
"It don't matter where you've been.
Only where you're goin'."

Sometimes it only
takes a quick conversation 
to make your heart glow.
We all share the same
heart. When you break another's
it's your own that hurts.
"Aaak aah aak. Ga ga 
gooooo MAAH." I love your stories, 
my babe. Tell me more.

It's not really freedom
when you're telling someone
how to live their life.
