Two poems in Eclectica

Have two poems in the October - November 2005 issue of Eclectica:

From the percolator (read)
On the Prospect of a New Lover (read)

Cleaning lady inspected the house, approved of the now respectable disorder and agreed to come regularly. Yay!

With this I officially end my house-cleaning strike and embark on a new life as a happily unemployed woman with irrationally bookish tendencies.

teehee, you wouldn't want me to clean *your* windows, michi. i stopped doing it since the only thing i did was smear the dirt on the glass some more.

and yay for the address! i think i need to seek political asylum at your place... the cleaning lady is scary.

Hmmm, between the train ride (approx. 5 hours, maybe more) and my getting lost between here and Vienna (what do you expect?)... I'll probably arrive at your place at 2.48 am, October 7. Don't worry about the key. I'll keep my finger pressed staunchly on your doorbell. Teehee!!
