30th September 2008

At local meeting,
Ups and downs of Hackney life
Fill the agenda.

29th September 2008

Nature's clear mirror
Reveals my fast beating heart,
Stress I cannot shake.

28th September 2008

In honour of Jake,
The kids tell it how it is,
Coming of age gifts.

27th September 2007

Generous neighbour,
For mutual benefit,
Sharing kids and dog.

26th September 2008

Two batty women
Inspect back end of a bat,
With feet made to hang.

25th September 2008

After wild goose chase
Doing the impossible,
I earn gourmet lunch.

24th September 2008

Sculptural beauty,
Flesh to be bathed and cared for,
Intimacies shared.

23rd September 2008

While speaking our truths,
Jane comes from a still centre,
Mine feels chaotic.

22nd September 2008

Receiving treatment,
My elemental balance
Is seen and fine-tuned.

21st September 2008

Bewildered at first,
Putting flat pack together;
Slow steps to wholeness.

20th September 2008

I squander sunshine,
Dragging my trolley from shops,
Then drifting to sleep.

19th September 2008

Burning ritual;
Cone of mugwort on my leg
To earth my circuits.

18th September 2008

While we discuss clothes,
Small fungus in pleated frock
Shows off in the grass.

17th September 2008

Negotiations,
To create security
For whole family.

16th September 2008

While banks take nose-dive,
I invest in lingerie,
Focussed on desire.

15th September 2008

Bob's hands in carcass,
Surgeon checks for vital signs,
Listening for beat.

14th September 2008

Day trippers borrow
The place we wear all year round,
My cloak of green space.

13th September 2008

Sound, light and movement,
Connect and ripple through us,
Hearts open, alive.

12th September 2008

"Sarah!" the boys shout.
Spider Man wrestles with rain;
Strong community.

11th September 2008

Capable with Mum,
I sort and organise stuff,
While she sits in chair.

10th September 2008

Overgrown tangle,
Garden, house and paperwork
Demand attention.

9th September 2008

Little beetle runs
Past Mushroom's statuesque paw;
Dogs seem like giants.

8th September 2008

Feel disconnected,
Half deaf like underwater,
I burn ear candles.

7th September 2008

Back to our routine,
Pickle scans marsh for friends, tail
Expressing pleasure.

6th September 2008

While my back was turned,
Awash with rain, autumn came,
Dropping polished fruit.

5th September 2008

Despite discomfort,
The boys manage to steal sleep,
As time winds forward.

4th September 2008

Eucalyptus scent
Fills my lungs as I walk to
Find scrambled tofu.

3rd September 2008

Ladies' shopping spree,
Vintage supermarket sweep,
Sequins and feathers.

2nd September 2008

Artificial air
And psychedelic decor,
Brings on altered state.

1st September 2008

"You are a goddess!"
Creativity is seen,
I love being me.

31st August 2008

Apocalyptic
Night brings laughter and madness;
Dust makes refugees.

30th August 2008

His perfect bottom
Exposed despite the 'white-out',
Enjoying Sara(h)s.

29th August 2008

Brush tickles on skin,
Tony decorates my breasts
For topless bike ride.

28th August 2008

Guiding me outside,
Man with a halo, and 'Man'
Give me perspective.

27th August 2008

Under canopy,
With tears and intimacy,
Storms rage inside me.

26th August 2008

Locked in my own world,
I watch beauties preen and leave,
While I lie prostrate.

25th August 2008

Extreme conditions,
Challenge structure building team;
Wind builds team bonding.

24th August 2008

Alternative route
To my drug-free strategy;
Bruised and scraped leg throbs.

23rd August 2008

Noses start to drip,
Emotions near the surface,
Needing compassion.

22nd August 2008

Commando mission
Leaves us wiped, jet lag biting,
Heavy limbs let go.

21st August 2008

Wild woman shows us,
How to express gratitude,
Take care of body.
