Mother Moonlight Starshine
I’m shiny and 12 again. I’m scraping the topsoil with my hands. When I was 12 I used to love when I got sweaty and funky and other people would say you stink and it would make me cry but those tears and those insults and purposely skipping baths helped me to feel like I…

This time I am confident that I have finally done what I set out to do so long ago. I scared the shit out of him. And now, hopefully he won’t turn his head and look back. The strange thing about this whole process is that I wish that he would never leave. I wish…

From the Desk of Pixie Prince : The Journal (2)
03/28/01 I was afraid I wasn’t going to bleed. I am not ready to be a mother again so soon after my son. That would be Trevon’s dream. I guess I try to convince myself one way or the other on how I feel about him. He made me dinner last night. He brings me…
