I was watching the lovely Julie Newmar as Catwoman on the antique Batman series earlier.

Some Progress

I'd  like to thank the person who suggested I bungee cord our city-issued trash bin shut after cleaning a disgusting mess of dog donations out of it. THANK YOU! So simple and it works like a charm.

warm winter nights

     I went out to look up tonight

     and the sky was green.

   Last night it was orange.

     Recently the weather was foggy.

     I saw an elaborate screen of bare black branches

   in front of me,

   Against a pink array

    halo'd by the broken moon,

     and the street lights as

  the rumbling freight train went by,

    way down the granite hill.

the tough job of healing.

Dry hands, sore healing hernias and other complaints. I feel very wobbly, especially when it's cold and I'm shivering. I am reminded of my friend, who after an afternoon of beer and shots at the notorious Mount Royal Tavern and ordering a shorty to go, described his way home as a  "wall to wall bar crawl" pantomiming a hand over hand motion after I offered to drive him. At least I am tucked safely under my blankets and I don't think the chirping smoke alarm is in the upper reaches of our house.

Winter Poem

 Toying with the toilet 
   it runs, it runs.
After a long hiatus
The ice machine clatters again.
   Somewhere a smoke alarm 
has been chirping for weeks...
  Is it mine? Is it mine?
 It's raining ice balls 
that drum against the window panes.
As the temperature rises,
it turns into rain.
 The rain, the rain.
