Today’s Confession Tuesday with our favorite witch, The Polka Dot Witch. Here’s what’s on my mind:
Since my last name is on my blog I hold back from a lot of true confessions. Repecting my family’s privacy and all that.
My mother-in-law is visiting, so my time for blogging and writing has shriveled to a mere hour [...]

finding a place
On a marquee in block letters:
Our Place, outlined in light bulbs.
You have arrived.
Descend the stairs,
pass under an awning,
open the white front door.
A doorman takes your money
and your hand, imprints
your thumb in a pot
of invisible ink. “Press
your thumb to the third eye,”
he says. A bouncer who [...]
The May newsstand issue of Yoga Journal includes instructions for how to make your own shrug. I like shrugs because they add an element of feminine interest to plain yoga attire. And I’m not comfortable wearing only a spaghetti-strap cami in yoga class, especially while teaching. As I’m forty-seven, not twenty-seven, my body is for [...]

The Anxious Journey, by Giorgio De Chirico, 1913
1. I’ve decided not to attempt a daily published poem. I have to like what I put up on my blog, at least a little. There are only so many De Chirikus, Rothkos, and Pollocks the world needs to read. Besides, that Pollock, while no great work of [...]
Mea Culpa
Confess. Remember when you brought a single
olive to your innocent
neighbor, Dolores? The olive,
filled with a bit of dog food instead of pimento,
entered her mouth.
She chewed, swallowed
slowly, and thanked you.
Inside you laughed, just like the Penguin
or the Joker, only two years after your first confession.
Nine years old, you carried the first black smudge of sin [...]
1. I found out why I’ve been soooo sleepy: an excess of serotonin in the blood stream. The new medication is out, and I’m backing off the old. I’m like a Chevy the doc needs to tinker with. Can’t wait until the junk is out of my blood stream.
2. We celebrated Easter our way. The [...]
1. I taped the scenes from this video on the same day. The sky dumped hail on us for about five minutes or so, and then cleared, spraying mist, cool air and sunshine. Afterwards I went to pick up Freeboarder and his friends, when we saw an enormous house with a display of inflatable bunnies. [...]

Confession Tuesday
On Saturday I went to the gym with my husband to swim laps, but the pool was closed due to an “accident.” I saw the lifeguard fish the accident out with a net attached to a long pole. A little girl who also had been planning [...]
The rain is coming down in sheets today, blankets of pear-sized drops. One drop lands on you and plop – your entire head is drenched.
Today I’m going to confess some of the vague thoughts that pop into my mind during the day. To read other confessions, go to the sidebar at the Polkadot Witch and [...]
