3:15 mind
wants to sleep
The minutes
blink by
I pee
more minutes
blink by
I put on a
t shirt w/a
Indian goddess
& take the boy to pee
he has overwhelmed
Buzz & Woody has
nothing left for me
& the goddess
we remove Buzz
& Woody & wet jammy
bottoms too
settle him & Dragon & Crabby Sebastian
under blankets he whispers a bit to his friends
sing Shepherd he says
so we do
we hear him move
1…2…3xs
an irregular noise has developed
—a drip? a creak?
we listen
the goddess watches the minutes
her 3rd eye blinks
blinks
blinks
I thought she might
be helpful but
she’s too quiet
asleep with her eyes open
next time I should
try Gamesh
remover of obstacles
he might have more to say
oh yeah, on the prowl for that which engages the whole soul, yours–art predator
tell me again about the poetry train? and the meme thing?
Potty training??
Potty training??
yes, Jill, night training–thought we’d get it all done during august but no…
do get on the train! on monday, post a poem, go to creative goddesses (link’s on my blogroll) on sunday or monday, link to your site, read rhian’s poems and you can easily click through to keep riding the train to read and respond to others! it’s fun and tales you places in the blog world you wouldn’t normally go!
If you’re searching for info on GAMESH, try GANESH. In my 3:15am state, I wrote down gaMesh when I should have written gaNesh.
Not only is GANESH the remover of obstacles, he’s invoked as the patron of letters during writing sessions, so he was the perfect deity for me to identify, even if I misspelled the name…
