Recently, I’ve been dealing with “the health care system”. Not something I enjoy. Even though I’ve worked for health insurance companies, even though I currently work in a health care related field, I’m not a big fan of doctors when it comes to me. In fact, I’ve lived without health insurance for the last 5 [...]
Shattered
I hate this ache
you have released,
This ravening beast
that was my heart,
Once tame and quiet.
I called the shots,
then you appeared
To touch my soul,
and opened with one kiss
The locks and chains of careful years.
The frightful power
of lust enflamed,
Freed by your touch, a moment’s rush
of whispered magic words;
All my crafty layers
placed precisely here and here
To cover each small [...]
I’d like to write an open letter to Sally Kern, the Oklahoma Representative who spouted off about the horrors of the “gay agenda” at a meeting where she did not realize she was being taped, but RSG has already done it so well. Still, I might have to try. Sometimes, I think the ability to [...]

Back in October, I read a post by Frances over at QWOC. It got me thinking, which can be a dangerous thing. She quoted the U.S. Constituion. Not being intimately familiar with that document, I found a great site that has the whole thing laid out in very easy terms. Here’s what got me [...]
Dancing Girl
Life two-stepped past my jaded vision;
Purple-sweatered apparition
Perfect in the circle of the wooden floor.
Your incense, clove cigarettes and beer,
Caressed my skin, drew me near,
Like lodestones to North,
Seeking the perfection of
Ripened lips and hips.
Outside your dancing circle,
My clumsy heart can only watch;
You are the Quest I once began.
I know what I could teach you,
If only [...]
It seems so long ago, yet just yesterday. I was floundering in a “marriage” to a man determined to drink himself to death, and trying to raise a teenaged daughter who was determined to put me in an early grave. To top it off, I was internally exploring, and beginning to seriously consider, [...]
