Building a Life



Heave up a brick and slap on the mortar

I am building a life.

Covered in mud the first brick layers

used clay and sticks. 

A sloppy undertaking

but the results came anyways.

The Egyptian pyramids weren't built in a day

and the road to Rome is paved with good intentions.

Never the mind.

I have long eyelashes and old galoshes

I will wade through the ponds.

Sending a baby in the reeds

for good measure.

(what a way to interpret drawing water)

I long to be The Fairy of Peace  To move men's hearts to paint canvas And not draw blood.
