friday night i started
collecting words and images
to be collaged for my coffeetable
creativity is everything you do: make something

on saturday i reconcile
how much time i have spent externally
being busy, looking important, being a go-getter, yet neglecting me
these days, i take joy in tending to myself

my life, in the bigger picture, has been collaged
i look at elements i have saved
waiting for the right moment to paste them
sometimes thinking there would never be a place for them

but here it is, it’s happening
maeve, my mama and me
laura and teena orchestrating from the otherplace
butterfly moments re-emerge, unexpectedly: i capture them

art is long and life is short
no man knows the day nor the hour
so i’m living in the now
in the collage
