“*petit à petit, l’oiseau fait son nid.”

Standard

discovering a tiny nest tucked away 

made 

step by step 

a little little bit at a time

until

at last

this became

a safe and comforting home

a place to grow and thrive

and fly

when the time is right.

 

 

‘*little by little, the bird makes its nest.’

– french proverb

 

 

in early june.

Standard

after 3 years

my little stick

left untouched

given time and space

has grown into

a baby peony tree

 well worth the wait

for its very first bloom.

 

“in early june, the world of leaf and blade and flowers explodes, and every sunset is different.”

-john steinbeck

nuns.

Standard

you know you’ve been waiting quite a long time

at the secretary of state’s office 

when even a minivan load of nuns get restless.

how could I be anything else but what I am having been named madonna?

i would have either ended up a nun or this.”

-madonna ciccone

waiting to be.

strings of tension waiting to be struck.”
