Howdy every one!
happpy new year.{still...} Well it is saturday here in the great state O' Maine, and it is snowing again! The other day we had about 5 or six inches, and today it was only supposed to be a dusting, but i think the weatherman was off by a few inches...WE are far from being snowed in, it is nice beacuse we dont have to drive to work or shop. The only real trouble with the snow is that makes parking close to a nightmare intown. The streets get smaller and we loose about 5 parking spots on every block. A situation easily remidied with beer and vidieos. {they deliver}
I will try today to get some pics of the little milo out in the snow...
here are some links for live maine web cams..

a poem with no title (for Milo)
You were conceived in the month of August
amongst the days of blue
& full skied afternoons
when Mars hung in the sky
like a red light bulb
turning my stomach with rinds
of oranges & peach pits
A force working within me
navigating a course among the galaxies
of a pulpy womb
& as the red planet receded into the sky it
cast a shadow across the moon
marked a starling within
we settled in amongst the rocks
&nested over the winter
You grew
thriving off potatoes and chocolates,
bananas and bread
swimming inside as I bundled you against
the cold of January, of February, of March
wrapping you in wool, down, cotton and skin
distending me so that you began to glow
a flash of light from my belly
In spring, your fingers and toes started to move downward
finding the exit to this crazy spaceship of a belly
you, our fruit, hung low on this mother tree,
a ripe fig, a juicy kumquat
your lovely long limbs pushing outward and in
and out once more, again
you bloomed on the 5th of May
and grew the solar system one more bit
grew the vegetable patch, and the orchard,
unearthed this whole garden
with your crazy fruit-
a star, an apple
a baby
oh you
amongst the days of blue
& full skied afternoons
when Mars hung in the sky
like a red light bulb
turning my stomach with rinds
of oranges & peach pits
A force working within me
navigating a course among the galaxies
of a pulpy womb
& as the red planet receded into the sky it
cast a shadow across the moon
marked a starling within
we settled in amongst the rocks
&nested over the winter
You grew
thriving off potatoes and chocolates,
bananas and bread
swimming inside as I bundled you against
the cold of January, of February, of March
wrapping you in wool, down, cotton and skin
distending me so that you began to glow
a flash of light from my belly
In spring, your fingers and toes started to move downward
finding the exit to this crazy spaceship of a belly
you, our fruit, hung low on this mother tree,
a ripe fig, a juicy kumquat
your lovely long limbs pushing outward and in
and out once more, again
you bloomed on the 5th of May
and grew the solar system one more bit
grew the vegetable patch, and the orchard,
unearthed this whole garden
with your crazy fruit-
a star, an apple
a baby
oh you

This photo was taken at Kennebunk Port while our friends Holly and Dan were visiting. It was a lovely day, but as you can see Milo's cheeks give away the cold.
