There is chatter in my mind along
my route although I drive alone.
I pass familiar landmarks
alone but in conversation
with the woman I was another
time on this road.

the adults speak of Uncle Ray’s life in long, mournful sentences
while I pluck tufts of feathers from the green brocade 
and blow them like dandelion seeds

but my wishes do not bring him back

My daughter unwraps a toy ambulance.
It takes two AA batteries, lights
up and sounds a siren. The truck gets tucked
into bed with my child later that night.

At the pond the wind
makes gray goosebumps
that skim the skin of the water.

I believe that all art-making (especially art journaling) is a journey. A long, winding path, leading us deeper into our own truth. There is no wrong way to go. If you feel lost, you just haven’t gone far enough yet.
