If you have a moment scroll down to the Mixpod at the bottom of this page and turn it off so you can listen to this gorgeous piece of music...

erhu and bow…
the sound of butterflies

55FFF - itchy scratchy :(

 Not all spots are itchy :))



















I want to take to task the chicken/chickens
responsible for Chicken Pox.


Does it/they have any idea what’s happening at
my house? No, of course not.


Sleepless nights, crazy itching, itching
itchiiiiiiiiiiiiing, hundreds of blisters
and scabs - eeeeeeeeew.

Three girls, three different poxy stages
aaaaand I itch because they itch...sheesh!

Have a great weekend everyone, hopefully not all itchy and scratchy! Visit G-daddy at Mr. Knowitall for more excellent 55 Flash Fiction Fridays.


love,

Eaton

old bones lie under the earth, new bones just lie ~ Monday Potluck

the bones of my fathers bleached white with nervous horror
roll around under layers of earthen life and death
pretending it will never happen
regardless, the invasion marches


across land once stolen, twice blinded
pious faces dark with prejudice
practice artifice, lulling us
into a stupor once again
 

the old-guard has passed away
a new set of rules taking precedence
false gods have taken up residence
invitation gone unnoticed


from a memory faint, almost impotent 

words penned by another remind me
“all that glisters is not gold” and horror
of horrors, we are embracing the fake

~~~

love,


Eaton

55 FFF ~ One (wo)man's treasure is another (wo)man's...

Happy New Year to anybody I may have missed, have a wonderful year!

Full moon photographed 
with my macro lens-Oct 10









I’ve lost count of the times
my fingers traced over
the soft black cover of
my journal...
every stroke of pencil
like a whisper to a lover
under a pregnant moon
each word traced between
straight lines - a piece of me
the ebb an flow of inspiration
doubts, wounded emotions
and love, always love

***




A new year and so many things I can't bear to leave behind, so I'm not leaving 'em.
Yup...emotional, attached...me 








Please visit G-daddy at Mr.Knowitall for more exciting, exotic, romantic, philosophical and every other kind of 55 Flash story you could think of...  :))


lots of love,

Eaton
