This is an old post, now new and improved, revisited for two reasons: one, my are making it hard to write new posts these days. But more importantly, I wrote this in November 2010, when my blog was still a baby. Chances are you’ve never seen this before, and kookys taste much better when we…

The Poetry of Sleep (deprivation)
Ideas and Babies By Yael Daphna Saar Before Ideas like babies wake me up demanding my attention in the middle of the night I am not complaining I sleep with a notebook under my pillow to catch my drips The dark circles under my eyes are a small price for the twinkle they sparkle After Babies wake…
Like, Like Me Do?
