8:37, Saturday morning
Tom cups his hands around the egg, his square palms and stubby fingers keeping it safe. He finds eggs fascinating, the weight they hold when they are fresh, uncooked, the way hard-boiling changes their heft. His mother handles them so gently, too, ad...
The noises of destruction
There was an oak tree just outside the back window. Brown leaves clung to it through the winter, unwilling to sever their ties until they were forced out by new growth. Some nights, when I was tired of waiting and had a little too much to drink, I wo...
Away from here
We kept on digging that night, pushed through soil rich and dark, encountered earthworms as long as Joe’s middle finger. He had a trowel and I had a pick-axe, but most of the time we used our hands, took off our gloves and did the dirty work di...
Lure
I flicked a career away as easily as I tossed down shots of vodka. The brown shoes and heavy overcoat, the thick wool suit in regulation blue, opaque hosiery that marked red rails around my waist, that made a serpentine path from my navel down: the ...
And five days later cold
It started with Maggie May's post on how one could possibly cope with losing a child. Or maybe it started before then, in my first grief at nine over the death of my grandmother, the grief that morphed into my obsession with Ouija boards, seances, an...
Shoot him \'fore he run now

Clueless
I like your honesty and insight. I just began my own journal blog Thursday...difficult to just put yourself out there, so I am anonymous. I want to follow your blog, so I put a link in mine to yours.

I have never before read a blog that IMHO deserved a 10. This writer is truly gifted and the artistry and honesty she employs to explore a painful past leaves little doubt about the quality of person that she is --- absolutely outstanding!
JD
I love your honesty. Not many have the strength to share themselves at such a level.
I wonder how many, like myself, that you are helping as they visit your blog. I'm sure many.
Keep up the great work.
Extremely thoughtful posts. Genuinely worth reading. I love the folded towels as metaphor for stable home... there's truth in that.
