September Heights



not everybody
looks this good in ballet tights
Baryshnikov does




shades of boarding school
shepherds pie called dead nuns pie
charming little gels






i wait for silver
to brighten the dark dark clouds
it can't come too soon

i almost forgot
it is my nana's birthday
she's gold and silver



position vacant
wanted: guardian angel
cos mine has left me

    I have it on very good authority that Guardian Angels never, never, ever, abandon those entrusted to their care. You must not advertise for another - you may attract the wrong type! Perhaps s/he is busy - they do not have regular working hours and have heavy workloads.

    Hope the clouds part and the silver remains.

    My granny wrote in my autograph book: Make new friends, keep the old; one's silver, the other's gold.

    I make a lousy angel but can do a passable imp...

    A very old song I remember from my childhood: Silver Thread and Golden Needles! I'd settle for that. Smiles.

    My guardian angel seems to have been out of touch with me recently. Sigh!!

    Oh the pie reminds me of some school lunch horrors "shudders" fantastic job! I have always envied ballerina's legs (female) and hope someday to have such amazing legs lol

    Yes you are a bit challenged in the leg dept Sancho, being cramped in a cell in a Mexican prison does not help things I s'pose!
