Good morning, evening, snowfall, sun spill, wherever you are.
I am in the coddle of a cotton bed, with a head full of elsewhere. My wisdom teeth are causing me to be buckled to pillows, water, pills, and daydreams. I want to be on a sailboat or sleeping in the marrow of a mountain. I close elephantine eyelids, while woodpeckers burrow pockets of trouble. When I am well enough to relish the good moments, I surely will. Our able bodies are precious, remember that.
It's taken me four days to dream up this post. Too often, I've been shut-eyed, waiting for heavens to return. As I've been wandering through the air of my fever, I've been quietly collecting vowel chimes. Whenever I am a barnacle to my bed, I romance with the brain's dictionary. Suddenly, as my skin feels bruised, and my belly feels broken, I am alive with words. More alive than before.
Words sooth the wounds of living. If I wasn't pregnant with poems, and language, I'd be witless, and mad.
Before I was welcomed to the kingdom of foolish teeth, I took these pictures. Milky clouds of bloodless stain poured onto the hills, the valleys, the rooftops, and the concrete. The first snowfall is always a mix of festivity and melancholic feelings. Festive, because nature brings curiosity in the form of snowballs. The white pigment covers the barren land, like a painting. This is beauty. Melancholic, because the nights are no longer transparent, and bare skin can no longer kiss Summer's bloom. I am choosing to be festive, even though it's already melted by the time I wrote to you.
The dentist tomorrow. No more misery... Hoping to return to you soon!
Kisses !!

Did you cut the bangs? Didn't think you could look much cuter.. but you always surprise me. Sorry for the wisdom tooth troubles, had mine removed years ago, not fun at all! again and again, your mind is a mountain of wonderment and beauty.

Cute outfit! Best luck at the dentist tomorrow ;).
Oh pretty, I know the pain of teeth! I had a horrible cavity last year that gave me horrible tooth aches. I was constantly popping tylenol until I finally got a root canal.
Best wishes for your little toothies, glad to hear that you've found sanity in language. <3
Your hair looks so cute, and such a darling skirt. Keeping my fingers crossed for you when you go to the dentist.

Hi !
Thank you so much for your lovely comment ! You made me very happy , your words are so inspirational (:
love , anne
with fresh cut bangs, borrowed blouse, polka dots, & optimism, she waits the pain melting away, like first fallen snow. while her cheeks are red from the cold, she wishes her mouth would numb.
You look so ethereal! I'm shocked Calgary snowed before Edmonton.... but you should definitely come up for a visit some time!

Oh you poor darling. Wisdom teeth extraction is horrible and messy and just yucky. I hope you feel better. You look as darling as ever, Amy :)
Lovely blog
oh the beauty!
I cannot believe I just stumbled over your blog now, you are a beautiful nymph and from what I read, a fellow poetic mind.
count me as a new reader, your virtual treehouse goes straight to my favourites!
I hope you'll feel better soon.
indeed the funny thing about the body is that you only come fully aware of it when it is sore or somehow disfunctional.
I like to do tai chi and meditation for those reasons because it makes me aware of my (physical) self and I can appreciate this funny butterfly coocoon my soul lives in.

your skirt is so gorgeous!
