breathe easier, it's febuary

my spiritual sisters have emerged out of my past and present, just in time to save my soul.

an old dear friend who has rescued me before contacted me out of the blue to say she loves me. she is making art out of underwear by the ocean.

my montreal mommies embraced me. they gave me a paintbrush for sorrow, eggplant for hunger and a hot sudsy bath for my worries.

halifax called right before toronto. victoria called a day later. ottawa checks in daily and montreal holds me close.

my dire straits sent out a call for help and thank god my world answered.
