Two Poems

I wrote these poems years ago, and they both fit my mood right now.  Neither one has a title.

2001
Frozen
Floating
Ice blue

My thoughts
struggle

2002
I'm tired.
Tired of climbing.
Tired of gripping
for the next piece
of the puzzle
that
holds this wall in place.

Blue-eyed Siamese Cat flies to Japan

Today was filled with my art and time with Sputnik. She was bathing herself which gave me the chance to catch a photo of her.

It took me about 6 months to plan the logistics of bringing her from Mexico to Japan. Since I had to fly via the U.S. on Mexicana Airlines and Korean Airlines, that meant 4 countries and two airlines would need to approve her transport. There were many details to keep track of for each country and airline. After 6 months of stressful planning, 16 hours of two airline flights and layovers, She made it to Japan safely!
