Why days or weeks with no new post?

What's up with that?

If you're ever wondering, why the periods of silence, keep reading. 

Dry Spell

I don't believe my muse has deserted me 

quite the contrary

I suspect she is busy organizing a closet

stumbling on a  wrinkled, twisted 

brown leather pump

smoothing a red print blouse with a white bib front

adjusting the angle of a long forgotten

black felt cloche

wiggling into a shocking pink bathing suit 

I imagine she's melding 

discarded identities

creating from old styles 

compelling new ones

sifting through what once was 

until she finds 

a kernel of what always is 

I expect she'll be back anytime now
