Graceful is an Adjective i.
Somewhere between the ravine and the sprawl of convenience stores I left footprints, halting and clumsy, on beaten pathways between bikers and dogs. I traversed slowly between pine trees and brush to the waters edge to catch frogs and skip stones, and dream.
I did not move with grace or any sense of proportion; I stumbled, tripped, and beat my way through the low lying undercoat of nettles and rose bushes to look into the swirling depths of the creek and wish, dream, hope for my prince. I am a princess and I need somebody with a strong shoulder and good wits to protect me, to make me graceful by proxy. I conjure images of our

To Wed on Wishbones To Wed on Wishbones

Wearing glasses for your eyes
Though bearing stigma
Do not need hiding,
Pupils but seeds
Gripping the blue petal
Of your abundant iris.

Though the tongues that are my friends
Claim your features uninviting
I still stare in awe
Seeing beauty I fear to confess
Wishing to steal what is lost,
To wear your jewels again,

And so
I shall crack every wishbone,
Ask infinity every New Year
For the same thing
And blow out my aging candles
Asking for you back.

Just so there's no confusion as to what I'm about, please see my stamps below as well as my statement about my intellectual property rights (it may surprise you). If anything I say, post or link to offends you, realize the world will not always agree with you.

My Intellectual Property Rights
I have very mixed feelings about Intellectual Property Rights (IPR), so I thought, before you steal my work, you should know what I think. The way I look at it is: if you're showing my stuff off and it has my name on it, even though you're spreading it without my permission, it's free press for me. So please, if you wish to show this off, give me my credit, don't take it. Make no mistake, this is in no way offering explicit or implied consent to use what I've written.
