PAPER BUDDHA AND SOME ICE CUBES-This was published by clean sheets a while back-
My baby was able to string my paper lantern on the naked light bulb,
the fan above it blows cool air..
It's an easy day.
I'm laying back wearing nothing but a linen shirt and a bra.
My pubic bone is furred, my legs thrown up on the wall reading some article about Hemingway and his Jane.
I would love to get a bottle of Rum and throw some ice cubes in a lowball,
and sip staring up at my saffron paper lantern mesmerized
by the scene of Buddha getting it on with his consort…
Their lips intertwined the sweat of their mating like drops of ice falling upon my brow.
The sound of moans a welcome AUM of breaths shared
rising on waves of spirit fires…
I watch for any sign of erotic life
The sun sets in my bedroom.
Feeling the Pasadena heat roll out to the shores of Africa,
I would never kill white zebras,
But I hunt for the shadowy figure of John Huston
playing cat and mouse with some elephant.
I meet Anais Ninn who whispers that she hates panties
Dropping them from my ceiling,
Black lace mini things that would never fit my woman's hips.
I smell the soft cologne of lavender waft through my open window
Who has arrived?
Ava Gardner with her cat's eyes peer from my closet door
She licks her fingertips, and throws me a wink.
She's wearing my leopard blouse
And Anais' panties.
She tells me the tale of the Yogi she almost had
Of flirting with Churchill,
And giving head to Hendrix.
I don't think about work.
I don't think about a future undiscovered.
I just have one wish…that I could kick back nude in my bed,
To bask beneath my paper Buddha lantern while getting drunk,
Perhaps, making sexual advances upon myself.
I'm gonna call in sick tomorrow.
NOTE: This was written about Eight years ago, or thereabouts. cleansheets published it. I wrote it within minutes after finishing my Vanity Fair Article about Hemingway and his Jane. Sadly, I never did call in sick : )

I was fourteen years old by the time I had traveled the globe, and lived in Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America. These jaunts across the world were launched by my father, who can only be described as a modern day pirate and a bon vivant.
In 2006 I began to work on my breast cancer series which evolved from a series of events during my young life that would impact my art as an adult.
At the age of ten,I heard the profound and heartbreaking story that a top British model had undergone a double mastectomy. She was a family friend and my mother said to her girlfriend," Her boyfriend left her because he was so turned off by the scars." I never did learn what happened to that model after being abandoned but I can only imagine her implosion.
During that same period, for reasons I still don't full understand, I was drawing Amazons. I had heard that Amazons would loop off their left breast to become a better archer. Imagine that?
35 years later, I'm sitting in a lab sketching an amazon on her knees, arrows in her tight fist, her bow slung across her shoulders and her prominent scar where her breast would have been-- At that moment it hit me right between the eyes- Amazons! Breast Cancer! Warriors!!!
To be a breast cancer survivor transformed a woman into an Amazon. From that point on I never looked back. It became my raison D'etre. I drew these women rediscovering themselves and re-defining their intimate relationships with their lovers.
I've searched the net for erotic drawings of breast cancer survivors and their lovers- Not porn, just good easy on the eyes art, but nothing came up--not even porn art on the subject.
I searched for pillow books for breast cancer survivors and their lovers but again nothing. I realized that there was a need.
Back in 2013, I was honored to be invited to the USC Breast Cancer Symposium where three of the breast cancer series were displayed- During that same year, the Pasadena Weekly featured me as artist of the week. In August of the same year, Whole Person featured my work for their cover and featured interview.
out of the blue and after much meditations, I was given a stipend from the Hay House in 2013 to publish a pillow book for breast cancer survivors and their lovers, I titled it, Songs of Solomon: A Pillow Book for Breast Cancer Survivors & Their Lovers.
The stipend was not what Hay House usually funded. Allow me to share more detail, in a reply to my proposal, Shelly Anderson( Ms. Hays Assistant) said, we never donate to such projects but we hope that this check for $1,500 will assist you in birthing this very important project. It did.
I was honored to have Susan Winter write the forward, she is a NY Times Best selling author, of Oprah's pick-- Older Women, Younger Men. Ten of my pieces are archived in the Kinsey Institutes library for sex research.
