zelda

- and she was, i remember with a migraine sensitivity, blinding;
a light like a strobe flashing celebration of the self,
she was her own Macy's Day parade, her own mad May Day...
and men twisting down like confetti at her feet,
like the money on Wall Street,
men raining from the sky
like they did in October 1929.

Welcome to planet Birthday!!

knight to queen's pick-up phwoar

happy birthday Betsy!!

Lover of wild and sensitive robots
poet of dancing planets and space

space
the space between the Earth and the Heavens
between us all, individual
or recalculated 1 + 1 = a mess of quantum possibilities!
the space between a man and a woman
a human and a monkey
a monkey and a robot
a smile and a heartbreak

each poem sheer joyous rueful wounded music
with a brain of steel.

rock on Betsy - here's to ya! :))
