Rock Wood Wire: 11. HIDE AND SEEK
http://rockwoodwire.blogspot.com/2014/04/11-hide-and-seek.html
The Word, the flesh, and a good pair of pliers. Monday, April 21, 2014. 11 HIDE AND SEEK. Wooden Woman takes in a long breath. This is where she takes off her shoes. Between the toes of Engineers boots and hers. It’s dusty. Long hairs have migrated. Under the shoe tree and merged with. Grey-coated carpet. Wooden Woman remembers. House dust is mostly skin, cells shed like snow. Within seven years every cell is replaced. Constant renewal. Yet we grow old. Her toe snags. Of almost-ready-to-give-away clothes,.

Rock Wood Wire: August 2011
http://rockwoodwire.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
The Word, the flesh, and a good pair of pliers. Monday, August 15, 2011. August 15th. Four days worth of words. Words Switch Sides all the Time. Close your eyes and imagine a simple term. Isn’t water good. 8212;after a thaw,. Stunning, a rushing baptism of beauty—. But wait, doesn’t good. Signify a spar with the eternal. Summer heat, when, as one-sided as the word thirsty. Redemption finally falls from the sky? When I think of it, it is amazing we communicate. Thursday, August 4, 2011. A NEW YEAR 2014.

Rock Wood Wire: 10. SHE TELLS A STORY
http://rockwoodwire.blogspot.com/2014/03/10-she-tells-story.html
The Word, the flesh, and a good pair of pliers. Sunday, March 30, 2014. 10 SHE TELLS A STORY. A story for you. Wooden Woman will tell it. Certainly no more than four years old,. The gangly little Kenyan girl balanced a baby on her back,. The younger leaned in tight. Dusty legs and faces,. Each had an empty blue water bottle in hand. They negotiated the dry and rutted road. In the unhurried and straight-backed way. We, a van full of Americans,. And rampant energy notwithstanding,. Where they then waded in.

Rock Wood Wire: July 2011
http://rockwoodwire.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
The Word, the flesh, and a good pair of pliers. Tuesday, July 26, 2011. July 26- More words than I intended. THE WAY OF PRAYER. On an updraft,. A grocery bag catches. The car antennae, crumpling instantly,. Then furiously flailing,. Bicker and thrash, flogging itself. All panic against glass,. But it calms when I slow,. Glide into the garage. It releases a sigh,. As if caught on a breeze. Shhh…quiet, tiptoe. Wednesday, July 6, 2011. July 6. Six Couplets. A soft fall that builds up. Because you forgave me.

Rock Wood Wire: November 2011
http://rockwoodwire.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
The Word, the flesh, and a good pair of pliers. Wednesday, November 16, 2011. Black skinned Margaret, calls me Susie. As if I am family, takes me to her field. Rake and hoe,. She’s pried open the earth with hands and sweat,. Taken the magic of seeds and planted half an acre. I step through her verdant garden,. Mud weighing down my shoes, while Margaret. Whispers secrets about a stick, dry wood. Slid in next to the seedling, poked deep into red dirt,. How a hole like that gathers water, a direct line.

The Word, the flesh, and a good pair of pliers. Wednesday, June 29, 2011. June 30. Thirty words. Stir the glitter of motes. Till sun turns red,. But gather the grey,. Under your arm,. Measures pain and slows time. Sunday, June 26, 2011. June 26. Twenty-six Words. Is a glass angel. Directing the soul,. A glint of fire,. When the heel comes down. Small tinks scattered on the pavement…. Tuesday, June 21, 2011. June 22. Twenty-Two Fleshy Words. Covers us with feeling,. A soft gauze to hold us in and. A woman...

Rock Wood Wire: December 2011
http://rockwoodwire.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
The Word, the flesh, and a good pair of pliers. Tuesday, December 6, 2011. Shock of curly hair, braided,. All gall and fury, the baby. Scrambles over her mother, leans in close. To the vacant face. And picks at the closed eyes. Curled into typhoid,. Mama lies on dirt and meager grass,. The woman barely breathes. Yanking limp arms, Baby bawls. And searches her blouse for a breast. The husband sits stoically by, staring. Baby never looks to him or lifts hands. To her father. He has never seen.

Rock Wood Wire: February 2014
http://rockwoodwire.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
The Word, the flesh, and a good pair of pliers. Wednesday, February 26, 2014. Russell screamed a lot for a four year old. Five older brothers and sisters,. Russell found high-pitched and extended screaming. The best and most effective repellant to their control. When Wooden Woman’s Dog was Cute Puppy,. Cute Puppy would not go on a walk. Walks were a drag. Quashed Wooden Woman’s attempt to control her. Cajoling that escalates to wild gesturing and loud commands. Only made Cute Puppy cower more. Nudged his...
