You don’t understand, no-one does. When a woman makes the choice to marry, to have children; in one way her life begins but in another way it stops. You build a life of details. You become a mother, a wife and you stop and stay steady so that your children can move. And when they leave they take your life of details with them. And then you’re expected move again only you don’t remember what moves you because no-one has asked in so long. Not even yourself. You never in your life think that love like this can happen to you. -Francesca, Bridges of Madison County

Ooochie Momma

Ode to my tooth:

Toofer, please do not hurt anymore.
I have taken advantage of you.
I have treated you like a whore.

I promise to brush
and keep you all clean.
I will floss all the junk
and remove all that is green.

Oh toof of mine, stop hurting my head
the pounding is making me twitch
and I wish I were dead.

The throbbing it must stop
Please oh toofer of mine.
uh…I don’t know how to end this.
Damn medication. I won’t even remember I wrote this tomorrow.
