Today is a badbadbad pain day, which is sad on such a pretty day. Yesterday was bad, too.
However, I shall decrease your pain (hopefully) considerably by announcing that this will be the last of my original poetry for a while. However, so that my last one will be special, I wrote it this week, just for this post.
I would like to dedicate this poem to JGTH, my birthday boy and best imaginary friend. There is also an illustration to go with this, maybe when we finally get a chance to update the site (one week left to go 'til faire, thankthegdlordjesus!) i will remember to put the illustration up.
This poem, written on 05/08/04, is called

I Am a Queen I realized last night that my house is my throne, front steps facing the audience chamber which is all the world that knows me. I am Every Girl - I don't know how not to be. I try to be soft and curve into each space but sometimes i am 50 feet tall and I attack. And I love, so big, all the world, and it hurts me. But it fills my heart with warm strength and raw power and hope. And so, in this way, I rule. * * * gingerly yours, -s Sam - 11.5.04
