Supplicant

April 18th, 2012 / Categories: Moose Nuggets / 4 Comments »

She knelt on the parquet floor
Supplicant before the throne
Hands folded precisely
Aimed at the heavens
This is my penance, she mumbled
Head crowned with stained glass hues
I did it once
I’ll do it again
And accept my penance
I’ll kneel before you, master
Accept your blessing
Blue-ing my cheek
Imprinted by your ring
I am nobody
I am your servant
You are ALL wise and giving
Loving and knowing
All female trespassers
Will be violated
This is my penance
For being one with you
Worsened only by the thought
Of NOT
Being your servant
Being your beloved

This is in response to Lance’s 100 Word Song challenge posted April 17th. The song: Of Lillies and Remains by Bauhaus. It likely won’t surprise you that I have not heard this before. I listened, and a line or two resonated and stuck with me, rolled around my brain pan and spat out the above.

The line “all female trespassers will be violated” was spotted etched on the back window of a souped-up pickemup truck by hubbymoose and myself as we left a restaurant after having dinner. I was shocked enough by the line to take a picture . . . and to remember it. How sad – yet how normal in this day and age. I may download and post the picture later.

My Blog Can Beat Up Your Blog

for Vesta

this is a tree in Vesta’s yard. It says so much about her.

I will observe your passing as you would have me do

I will . . .

look to the heavens

look to the sun

gaze on the moon and the stars on the clear black night

glory in the flight of the eagle, warring with the raven over a dripping salmon

pull my loved ones closer to me and hug them with all my might

shout your name to the winds from the bluff

whisper your name to my aching heart

I will miss you, my Sister-Friend

Trifecta’s challenge this week is to use the word OBSERVE in its third definition:

to celebrate or solemnize (as a ceremony or festival) in a customary or accepted way

I received a call yesterday that a dear friend had passed away from a brain aneurysm. We lost her twin last November. Vesta was a mentor to me – a sister-friend to me. She loved me, admonished me, challenged me, LOVED me. I will miss her greatly.

The Woman in Me

April 14th, 2012 / Categories: Hear Me, Moose Nuggets / 7 Comments »

“You worry me,” she whispered loudly into Trista’s ear. Hips undulated with the vibe, the glory of being together – alone – in a club full of people. She teased, taunted, and beckoned her closer. “I’m yours. Don’t forget. We belong here in the now, here in the day. The woman in me wants the woman in you.”

Trista succumbed to the lusciousness in front of her. Nobody else mattered. Only this vixen in slit skirt made her salivate like this. She pulled her closer, melted her body into her soul-mate’s, whispered back, “The woman in me wants the woman in you.”

Lance of My Blog Can Beat Up Your Blog fame invited me to take part in his 100wordsong challenge. Taking a song – writing 100 words as you please. How hard/easy can that be, right? Yeah. I’m really not “up” on current music, but I enjoy what other folks publish – and I gave this one a listen. Phew! Is it hot in here – or is it just Trista?

Nobody I know – except in the furthest corners of my mind. Enjoy.

Dear Robbie

I don’t know how to tell you. I loved him and that hurt you. He chose me and we love each other. We both love you. That hurts. I’m sorry for that pain.

Love, Trixi

The Trifextra Week 12 challenge is to write a 33 word letter of apology. (salutations, closings, etc. not included in the word count)

In the nighttime part of my job the participants are asked to write a letter of responsibility – apologizing to their victim by taking responsibility for what they’ve done. It is hard for them. I think I understand a bit more now why that is so.

Suzi’s SKANDAL

April 12th, 2012 / Categories: trifecta, words / 6 Comments »

“Suzi, you spelled it wrong – again!”

“No, I didn’t. I know perfectly well how to spell, Mother. Your nuns have pounded it into me. 12 years of catholic school – and I survived!” Suzi muttered as she typed on her notepad. “Mothers can be so exasperating.”

“Seriously, Suzi. You have SCANDAL misspelled. You used a K again.”

“Mother, it means the same thing. I’m just trying to make my point with the name of my blog. If you don’t catch the eye, people won’t pay attention. Suzi’s SKANDAL grabs that attention.”

Suzi’s mom shook her head and sighed. “Well, I guess you have a point. I know I read your blog, and I tell other people about it, too. We all like to see who has the latest scandal in our little town. You find the best dirt.”

“Well, people just make it so easy, Mom. And, I haven’t been sued . . . yet. Like Argus Hamilton said, ‘If it’s not true, it’s libel.’ Politics are fair game. You remember what it was like when you ran for school board.”

“Yeah, I do. Lots of mudslinging for a job that only paid $200 a month. Glad I’m thick-skinned. Wish you’d been writing then. Might’ve saved me some heartbreak to have a counter-point or two.”

“I know, Mom. But you did great. You had a good showing. Maybe someday you can run again.”

“What?! And have my name show up in Suzi’s SKANDAL!? I don’t think so, my darling. I love you and all that, but I’d rather read about OTHER people’s scandals and not mine. Write on, Suzi, write on.”

The Trifecta Weekly Challenge was to write between 33 and 333 words on SCANDAL. These are mine . . . where are yours?
