frida kahlo to marty mcconnell

leaving is not enough; you must
stay gone. train your heart
like a dog. change the locks
even on the house he’s never
visited. you lucky, lucky girl.
you have an apartment
just your size. a bathtub
full of tea. a heart the size
of Arizona, but not nearly

Magic Monday

Save Spring as long as you can

Monday: May is the official one year anniversary of Adventures of Superalzy! Since I started this blog on my Five Rules for Life, inspired by something Mark Strand said to me, I’d like to share one of my favorite poems of his with you today.

Tuesday: Start a little [...]

Haikuesday!

Love.

Another week gone & all I got was another roll over on my life odometer. Actually it was a busy week filled with hope, fancy events, thunderstorms & movies. I did, indeed turn a year older. I had a fabulous excuse (finally) to wear my Betsey Johnson dress & my new bootie/sandal hybrids. I [...]

Haikuesday!

Where absurdity is reality

Some days, you have to laugh or else you’ll cry. Always choose laughter, macaroons. I spent most of the week laughing hysterically.

Keep your eyes open!
You might see my face in a
major magazine!

A walk on the beach
with Muldoon helps welcome Spring
& melts winter hearts.

A year after Grad
school, I’m writing poems again.

Haikuesday!

I think the bars on my heart are starting to lift a little.

Macaroons! I had the best week! I feel like Alzy 2.0 & I’m ready to make some serious changes. I’ll let the haiku speak for themselves this week.

I am a brave hair
model & tell Ouidad to
slice off all my hair.

Haikuesday!

It was a Mark Jenkins kind of week. Click to see his work!

Well, macaroons, the coming week promises to be better than the last. I have discovered a whole new level of heartbreak: a feeling of humiliation to have ever loved someone. Exes are strange creatures, macaroons. It just makes me sad to [...]

Haikuesday!

Even bright rooms go dark sometimes…

Macaroons, I will not pretend it was a good week. I escaped a lot into Boot Camp, books, friends & movies about abusive vampire boyfriends. Hopefully the next few weeks will brighten up.

Rain falls like applause.
Made it through another day.
Encore tomorrow.

At the end of the
day, there’s always a blank [...]

Haikuesday!

Thanksgiving is many circles of love: Click to go see the story <3

I hope you all had a delicious holiday weekend filled with family, friends & those quirky little traditions & inappropriate uncles we all endure. It’s time to deck the halls & light your menorahs & shine your…Festivus Pole and whathaveyou, macaroons.

Slowly Fall’s [...]

Haikuesday!

I'm not waiting for the train anymore. I'm just going.

It was a relatively quiet week, macaroons. I took the opportunity to reset my gears and recharge my phaser. It was fantastic. I’m ready to pick up some momentum in a new direction.

Counting all the stars
like goldfish floating belly-
up against the black.

Muldoon outgrew his
first collar. [...]
