A fat drying lizard
Rotting meat on a stone
Knotting my stomach every day
I want to walk this way
Past this brutal sight
Not to change it nor to fix it
I will never give it weight
And I will banish all superstition
That does not belong to me
Until days turn it into dust

I feel you. Sometimes it can get up high to the throat. The daily routine. Have you read two thousand seasons by Ayi Kwei Armah?

😀 Indeed.
I have not read Ayi Kwei Armah yet. So thank you for the suggestion. 🙂

The sun is out in Oslo city, BigLizzy. Can you imagine? When I read your message tears came to my eyes the other day. Sunless living. Kindness is by far the best quality a man or a woman can possess. I trust that you are well and thank you once again for your support. You are a star. 🙂

Awwww…sister, Nomzi! Thank you so much for reaching out to me today and your kind comments. What a sweet image: you, in the sunlight, turning your face toward the light and letting it in (just like the background photo on your blog here).That’s a wonderful image, which will lift my heart all day. 🙂 It’s sunny in Sedona, AZ, too. I love living here so much. Sedona is magical. I hope you can visit someday. I would love to meet you, sis. Warm hugs from your friend, BigLizzy
