Little Luscious Lips

They all want to kiss me.

 

 

 

They all want to squeeze me because I am soft and cute.

 

 

 

But even though I’m only three, I’m already my own self. Respect me.

 

 

 

You think you can make yourself irresistible?

 

 

 

It is only I. Only I am irresistible. Don’t kiss me.

Iris & the Skirt of Many Fabrics

At a garage sale,

Mom bought a box of batik fabric that someone had cut into small pieces with the intent of making a quilt.

The quilt was never completed.

 

 

 

She bought me the fabric thinking I might use the tiny pieces to make tiny doll clothes.

I have decided that I enjoy piecing the fabric for clothing.

 

 

 

This skirt has 32 different fabrics.

 

 

 

I took Iris to the field across from the school to model it for me.

 

 

 

…& then strange tiredness overcame her, & she lay on the ground, immobile.

Coaticook River Rock Tossing Expedition

It started out in the normal way: a walk in the woods down to the river,

 

 

 

fully clothed.

 

 

 

But, with the toss of the first rock, the first splash wetted their clothing andβ€”

 

 

 

Off it came! Splash!

 

 

 

In to the water with the rocks!

 

 

 

Throw to the other side!

 

 

 

Andβ€”

 

 

 

bloop!

 

 

 

It’s good to have a river.
