winds,clouds
feel the pride
of the creator

The one not to flee
A prisoner of love
needs no locks
no bars
A safety pin
On a white paper

Motherhood and childbirth

the process and you cant remember a before.

Mars and her Children
In Applesauce for Eve, Runt Vigor, Core memory, the fruit apple, tree and its core are the connecting images.
'Cast skins' poem begins with an indifferent snake casting its skin and then going about with its new bright skin. Worn out gloves recall the mos absent hands. The poet progresses onto clothes at thrift stores and the invisible but present voices of the erstwhile wearers of the clothes.
'Up and Out', '1. The foot gnawed off', what you cant leave even when you think you are leaving your place of past for good.

I cannot walk the dog of the past at my
convenience.
At a two year old's birthday party, during dinner one young lady was trying to figure which dishes had onion in them, so she could relinquish them. She was trying to follow Sattvic diet. Another lady swore by onions and garlics in the dishes. Bite into the onion is a homage to the onion.

Hemicorporectomy
Peter Selgin,
trying to decipher those mysterious blue shapes floating way out there in 'Playing It Out'.
when we are in a new place, we take a moment, silent, watch whats around, sort the clouds, mountains and then we speak.
I found further reading difficult. No poems.

A Blizzard under the blue sky, Pam Houston.
One of the things I love most about the natural world is the way it gives you whats good for you even if you dont know it at the time. Talking about winter camping, author Pam Houston sums best the role of nature in resetting our human system. all those visits to the national parks or even the local lake that tidy up the cup with tea dripping on the sides.
With sentences like 'clarity and precision of fresh snow and blue sky', she makes the reader appreciate the immutability of certain things, the so called universal truths which fix our dithering daily boats.
Out of Habit, I start apologizing, also included in Scoot over Skinny.

Culture
One of the basic functions of culture: to lay out a predictable world in which the individual is firmly oriented. - LaRay M Barna.
A westerner I know, appreciates the eastern culture of parents arranging marriage for kids and the respect elders get. She has a 1D disapproval for the higher divorce rates.
house owner should welcome visitor - international student.
Social time: heartbeat of a culture. When the authors found that language wasnt lending itself to pose questions like they wanted to in surveys, they looked at definite durations of certain activities for comaprision.
The analog time in the house clock with no numbers, subject to approximation is behind the precise one in the car.

Stumbling blocks in Intercultural communication
In some cultures, also, it is polite to refuse the first or second offer of refreshment. - LaRay M Barna
We had a story in our nondetail in which an elder sister takes her brother along for a birthday party only if he promises to behave. He is supposed to refuse offer for any food atleast three times before accepting. The mischievous kid says no three times to the first offer, so he can enjoy the food.
In high school, my sister and I were at a dinner reception. They had egg curry being served. We were asked to eat. Being the elder sister I answered that we were not hungry. I felt highbrow refusing. My sister would have liked to eat. Now I remember to leave the onus of accepting/refusing a food offer to whoever is with me. Sometimes, even after I have made my mind that I will not find myself having anything to do with cake at birthday party after having had the first serving, I will say 'no' to taking cake for the road. I will say 'maybe my husband will like that'. After all these internal dramas, as soon as we get home, we finished up the cake in few seconds. A vanilla banana, strawberry cake. Its USP was its softness of the cake layers as well as the filling. The cake was mistakenly made girly with pink lettering and pink flowers. Not a hit with parents, but with all the little girls who attended the party, who also happened to be the majority. All the girls were asking was if they could have a flower. Must be the first time that a cake was trumped at the birthday party by kids. Well, a little boy too asked for a flower for his sister. I have seen at yet another birthday party where a kid asked for a balloon for his younger sister.Kids can be distracted with the auxiliaries on the cake but adults have their focus on it. I managed to have a serving of the cake and didnt go for more, although I was reminded of the baby shower cake which I had enjoyed then except for the minor unequally thawed filling the cake. I had seconds with that one. This cake was better and cost half less. The baker of the cake that cost half more is no longer in business.
