Sunday, August 18th
Moon in Sagittarius Who cares if I skip a day. This can be such bullshit. Contrived and
worth nothing. Filling the void. I am not good. This must be learned.
I want to care but I do not. I care only for cats and kids. I care for
Asia. I care for Neal. That is all. I care for animals but mostly for
cats. I am not impressed with dogs like I used to be. I am like a cat.
I am not like most women. Charmaine is not like most women. She is real.
Only truth comes out of her mouth. She is like Buddha. She is worth
caring about. She is worth trusting and having as a friend. I have had
time to make things pretty. The walls are not so white now. The cats
have a new shelf to hide in. Behind Robert Louis Stevenson and Angela's
Ashes. The sky has been overcast most days. The sun comes out only to
set. It is prime for walking but I have not felt like it. I'd rather
stay in with the cats. If I want to go out I can go out back and socialize
with the strays. They've taken quite a liking to me. Preferring their
backs scratched to food and water. Cats adore me. I adore cats. They
are quite wondrous creatures and the centers of their universe. Meow.
I would like one more bookshelf. Ceiling to floor up against that huge
empty wall. I do not like empty. It is white. It is plain. I still have
books that need to be shelved and some I have not yet acquired. My DNA
is all over the place. My bloody toes to my runny nose this place is
quite the forensic lab. Angels fly because they take themselves
lightly~ Ellen Wheeler Wilcox |
