sewing!

Brittany and I had a sewing weekend and I made these pajama shorts, they cost me all of 3$ (perks of working at a fabric store!). The lace and buttons I stole from my moms LARGE supply of things like that. we also made a camera bag insert which I am SO happy with because I have wanted to make one of these for ages. Good-bye ugly camera bag!

The worst part of making this was measuring and cutting everything! As you can see we used every bit of that foam. This thing cost me zero dollars since I have a crafty mom, and my work gave me the foam for free!

the over pass

your cathedral

was under the highway,

where the tire-anthem droned over the concrete crypt.

Graffiti was your Mona Lisa

sprawled inelegantly across the cement.

I was a footman to

your roguish smile.

Leashed, I trailed

through needle-fine, hip-high

cat-tail grasses,

to this hooligan's annex.

Those brown bemused eyes said--I can't decipher you

The flames made a watery quiver on the wall.

Once,

I was satisfied with this

sentimental,

midnight August,

light-year,

daydream-memory,

of you.
