An incorrigible hagengages my loneliness –like an assassin sniffing outany scent of vulnerability I am lowering standardsthis history of imprisonmentenabling inappropriate openings I cry for new perspectiveponder after boundariesintending to defend Like an unwanted bullseyeI am pursued on repeatmalice considering mea problem to be solved Who is this old womanwhose thoughts are daggerswho calls upon […]
I know that abyss –swallowed up as I waspunch-drunk on darkness Bled as I emerged,each reach a scrape –there was release too Revived now, I honourthat passage, recognizethe making of a woman. (Making of a Woman first appeared here, December 2021. Image: self portrait in ink)
As long as it’s writing, stories, books….any time is the right time…

I can be quite talkative if I like the subject being discussed and I have some knowledge about it, otherwise, I prefer to listen. Here is my take – https://amanpan.blog/2021/05/11/delayed-forecast/

I could talk and demonstrate nautical carving easily, talk about the horticultural traditions of Italian gardeners, or BS a lot about being an anthropologist. References are available from H.I.M Xenia my cat and booking agent ( 25% fee she says it’s reasonable).

We can usually talk impromptu about ourselves – what we like, don’t like, what drives us. If we don’t like someone, why they hurt OUR sensibilities.
