i need to go now.
she remembered off and on
throughout the afternoon
why she needed to leave school and go home
she tried calling on the old wood phone
told us she did not need to be here
told us her mom misses her
gave us so many, many reasons
and finally
she came up with my favorite:
“i need to go home…….to fix my hair!”
well, why didn’t you say so in the first place?
of course you do
we reminded her that mom would be back pretty soon
and in the meantime
we marched around like big dinosaurs
laughing and playing
ate applesauce and ran around outside
on a cool almost fall day
hair flying in the wind.

home is where….?
The troopers said Jeremy James Knoll became a suspect when the cabin was found on his property. He reportedly attempted to hide the cabin by placing large pieces of sheet metal around it and altering its appearance, but troopers found matching serial numbers inside the stolen cabin.
Knoll was charged with receiving and concealing stolen property and was given a $20,000 bond. The investigation is ongoing and more arrests may occur.

rien ne vaut son chez-soi. (there’s no place like home).
carry it.
partings.
Born in 1960 to a Sicilian family living in Morocco and raised in France, Catalano became a sailor in his twenties. This nomadic lifestyle was a major inspiration for his work as an artist. The sculptures of Bruno Catalano, especially, Les Voyageurs show this influence. They delve into themes of travel, migration and journeying. Themes extend into exploring the ideas of home, belonging, loss and the experiences of a “world citizen”. Each statue carries a single suitcase, weighing them down, but also serving as their only means of support. Fascinating technically, artistically, and in its symbolism, the large omissions in the statues leave much to the imagination. Some figures appear to be fading away, while others materialize before our eyes. Contrary to the opinion that travel broadens and enriches, Catalano lamented that all his travels left him feeling that a part of [him] was gone and will never come back. ‘Fragments’ makes full use of this ethereal effect with three sculptures broken down to create one unit. The man looks fragile and delicately held together, losing more and more of himself till only his feet and bag remain.

rose.
rescued while trying to join a colony of cats in detroit
cared for by a foster family
looking for a place to call home
i feel lucky she landed in mine
shy and sweet and young
not quite sure what life will be like here
she came out from her hiding place
long enough for us to each check on the other
i see her natural fancy costume
of black ears and tail
snow white body
she’s now olive’s new sister
and will be called rose
which makes her *rose kennedy
*(the cat, not to be confused with the political dynasty’s family matriarch who shared the same moniker)
