  1. CW: Pet death (chicken, she was old, it wasn't a surprise)

    Our little Sebright has died and while she was probably quite ancient in Sebright years (we got her as an older chook three years ago), we're still a bit sad, because Sebrights are SO SUPER and delightful and she was very much my favourite.

    She was so fast! She made the cutest little sound -- different from the croaky croons that the others do when they're going about their day. She was a remarkable escape artist and spent a couple of weeks hiding in the neighbour's garden after flying over the fence and not realising how to get back (I said she was my favourite, I never said she was clever -- although to her credit, she did learn her lesson and didn't fly over there again).

    She didn't lay much, she was tiny so didn't eat many scraps, she also would regularly dig up my seedlings if she could find them and she was very good at finding them. She was... kind of a menace?! But I think the cheekiness and the cuteness just made her all the more adorable and I'll miss her

    5 Poems by Laurie Kuntz

    Women At Fifty

    We’re likened to flowers–
    delphinium, crocus, forsythia,
    names that color the raspy throat of time,
    fill the air with familiar gray tones,

    but consider the hydrangea
    kindred to diminished hues of November
    it shutters from wine to teal till petals
    gleam like burnt sapphires, pearls, bronze.

    Pansies, petunias, zinnias
    in their crimson dresses
    tear in October’s rush of wind

    the hydrangea remains steadfast
    bleached from wind and time, its colors turn
    from lavender to sea-shades,

    turn from summer’s incense
    to the perch of night with distant
    sounds of bells and strength of chimes.

    Portulaca In Shadow

    August in L.A.

    a litany of the familiar,
    delphinium, dianthus, columbine,
    each flower, a vise on the redolent pocket of time,

    You seek deliverance
    among red-palmed petals of portulaca,
    transplanted from a garden in Vietnam,
    now wrapped tight in evening’s bud.

    What grows in L.A.

    is common to both lands
    and you listen for sounds of Asian gardens–
    bamboo creaking in an October wind,

    bike wheels on gravel,
    the clink of a teaspoon
    against the cobalt rim of china
    and in high grass, feline declarations.

    But, here, in L.A.

    under the drone of imminent freeways
    the purple vine of morning glory
    chokes the trellis and the memory

    of an egret’s call ascending
    from rice fields pales
    against the clamor of the angel’s city.

    An unspeakable loneliness
    claims your life as the past
    clenches shut, like portulaca in shadow.

    Anhinga Drying Her Wings

    Where has she flown
    for the need to stop
    on a lily pad and spread
    wet-tipped wings
    under the ebb of day?
    What venture caused
    her to dive into this lagoon
    black with its endless bottom?
    Who are we, passersby,
    to disturb her stance
    on reeds fragile to sight
    and thought of these steps
    we both make on sandy roads?
    Under waning suns
    winged and footed journeys
    are beginning anew
    and ending, marked
    with the coming
    of first snow and last rose.

    Elegy For the Face in the Mirror

    In that gilded mirror
    I practiced my countenance,
    lifted sagging skin to reach
    the once prominent cheekbones
    which have sunk with every disappointment
    or loss of someone who once cupped my face
    into welcoming hands and held my tentative smile
    till it became my calling.
    That mirror, which hung on a fresh paint of pink
    has cracked, I don’t know when or how–
    Perhaps my angry brush stroke hit its shine of glass,
    or was it a wet towel flung at a glaring reflection,
    that stare I no longer wanted.
    But today the face has softened
    to a gentle frown of forgiveness,
    and in an easy stretch of time,
    I mourn for who I no longer
    see in cracked glass,
    from many splintered angles
    no one stares back at me.

    ~~

    Between

    If our lives were lived in a straight line
    like holding ends of a jump rope–
    one turner madness, the other magic,
    we would learn to rise in rhythm
    with each arc of the rope and all that happens
    in a moment of becoming airborne.

    Between the landing and next jump
    are the daily interactions that prove us human:

    The nod of passing hikers scaling an uphill trail,
    the placing of coins in a palm by the shopkeeper
    after asking how your elderly mother is doing,
    a screen door held open or gently shut
    after shared cups of chamomile tea on a rainy day,
    the manicurist who shapes your nails into a spring color palette,
    A pitanga bush overhanging the bridge,
    never failing to drop its red dappled berries into the lap of April.

    Each handshake, hug, and embrace
    is a life in the telling, stories that will end
    in a skip, jump, and final landing
    between madness and magic.

  10. "It seems you're in an abusive relationship with this 'Life,'" my (very old, very male) psychiatrist said.

    "Aren't we all?" I shrugged from the settee.

    "And you say this abuse is physical?"

    "I mean I'm a woman, aren't I?"

    "Could you elaborate?"

    "Yes, Life comes like clockwork, every month, and punches you in the gut so hard you bleed," I sighed, wondering what part of his medical degree didn't cover it.

    "And she does this to other women?"

    "Buddy, if you get enough women in the same place for long enough, she comes for you all at once."

    "Interesting."

    "It's either that or you find out you're pregnant."

    "Are you perhaps conflating your mother with... life?"

    "No."

    "So just life, then," he turned the page. "I suppose it beats the alternative."

    "I'm not so sure. Death seems pretty chill."

    "Tell me about this 'Death.'"

    "Last saw him smoking at the polling station with his kid."

    "Interesting..."
