it's me...

And since I am here, in other news,
Life is good.

I received the foundation grant I applied for and now am busy at work on the details.

And spring is fast approaching. The birds (or some of them) are back and singing in the mornings. And the sunrises have been lovely.

and off to Turkey this summer, I hope?

"the lost thing"

I am.
Marie Antoinette. Oscar Wilde.
I am a rock.
Eve Elsner. Kurt Kobaine.

I am a lost thing.

I should warn you
When I'm not well
I can't tell
Oh, there's nothing I can do
To make this easier for you

You're gonna need to be patient with me

I'm this apple, this happening stone
When I'm alone
Oh, but my blessings get so blurred
At the sound of your words

I'm gonna need you to be patient with me

How can I warn you when my tongue turns to dust
Like we've discussed
It doesn't mean that I don't care
It means I'm partially there
