Sandcastles, like summer, cannot stay

August 25, 2018August 25, 2018 lauraeppinger

I had a difficult and unsettled summer, but suddenly I find myself mellowing as the season changes. My summer Statistics class is over. My 10-day streak of working outside is over. I moved to the beach. I am enjoying this in-between time. I find myself craving the quiet. Happy Virgo season, I want to spend… Continue reading Sandcastles, like summer, cannot stay

Essential Summer Experiences

July 24, 2018July 24, 2018 lauraeppinger

I can't tell if this is a common pre-teen phase or a 1999-era phenomenon, but the summer I turned 13 I was obsessed with collecting, and following, Summer To-Do Checklists in teen girl magazines.

HAIR/ LAURA EPPINGER

June 10, 2018 lauraeppinger

An oldie but a goodie.

Long hair, thick hair
pheromone trap black hair
a rope to tug pinned up
against a wall. Spillover bedside,
bleach in the summertime, shave
in fall. Smooth at secret crescent
silken comb of broken teeth. Tie
it back, it bursts, hair,
tie it back, it bursts.
Cable-strength noose, barbarian braid
a sword between two bodies reclined
no trust cannot sleep beside
hair, unsung Samson song keep
those fingers to yourself.
Supple never touch hair,
soft but never touched.

I bought the 2018 NJ State Parks Pass and I am using it to challenge myself. To get outside, if only an hour a day. To get some sort of exercise every day. One day this week I spent more than eight hours inside with meetings, but then got myself on a hiking trail and… Continue reading My State Parks Pass as a personal challenge
