Out of sorts in a crazy way

In bed early tossing and turning

It had been an okay day

But nights always proved worse

Hard to sleep alone in a cold, empty bed

Not one to live alone

I missed him

He chose to leave

Said he couldn’t live with my outbursts

I understood

I was not without major faults

A life lived in turmoil

Nothing major

Just some sense of not finding oneself

Trying to be what I thought people might like

But not really ever comfortable in my own skin

It’s that I wish I could be someone else

stream of consciousness writing pours like salty tears

spilling onto the earth killing green life

sacrificial therapy

looking through frosted panes of glass

fire of embers on the hearth

i whispered, “let me in”

Maybe, you didn’t hear

“I’m of the opinion that certainty is over rated.

Settling into the beauty of the unknown rather suits me.”

Impregnated Clouds

gust of wind creates a mini dust vortex

a reminder of energy in the midst of a drought

rain will come, too

as clouds become pregnant

Faible, Redbird House Maker

They said his mind was weak since birth. Treated that way he believed it. Faible, weak, they called him.

No one ever took into account that he never went to school. Faible’s parents passed young. Raised by his Grand-Mère, grandmother.

When grand-mère passed Faible stayed on in her house occupying his time making birdhouses, specializing in oiseau rouge, redbird houses.

People on L’anse Triste, bought his houses. Saw his talent. JohnMarie, an older widowed man befriended him. Together they did business, John handled the finances. Faible crafted the tiny houses.

Brilliant art popped up for Redbirds. “Faible est créatif” people said.
