Pardon me, princess let’s have tea hand me the teacup a tasty dribble of drink together, let’s brew tea dark and potent with a touch of peach and passion fruit bottoms up and a toast perhaps looking beyond the poison stamped upon the bottom of the delicate china vessel Continue reading

The Owl Factory
I thought I would fit in at the Owl Factory assembling the multi-colored felt owls matching their personalities to beady sets of eyes even the creepy guy next to me wasn’t much of a bother at first… his smirking critiques fell off my sallow skin as if it were waterproof “Owls aren’t that great, you … Continue reading
Autumn
Autumn you are at once hot-handed shifting gears in your blustery boots November was singing like a spoiled canary prodding us away from sunny windows threatening us with an awkward northerly chill this blatant wind skulking and snatching tossing up a hissy fit passing the mandate on to winter Continue reading
Away from the Crowd
I live to seek the quiet corners beyond the impact and milling of the masses the yell and chaotic thunder vanishes on the cusp in time’s alcove moments stolen inside a less than perfect day shedding the gravity of desolation breathing slowly the divine sanction of solitude Continue reading

Giant Earth
The earth here redeems itself in spring stills itself gazing graciously upon the flight of cranes. These lakes now utterly thankful sipping their own water at high tea. Open fields thrust out their green grassy arms at the feet of rain brimming with ebullient life. Not so rustic, alas, we deal with incertitude our seasons … Continue reading
Reckoning
There’s a news flash today Oh wait, in the new world order there is always breaking headlines President Trump tweeted… Elevator to the 2nd floor landing a certain familiar quiet greets the stilled entry into the sunroom where a small spider glides smoothly knitting a web hung on silver space. In the corner … Continue reading
Midnight Magic
I refer to waterfall music a far distance from time’s corridor seeking secrets of forest lore sung with gentle notes upon the lyre. The wayward, woodland creatures walk in scattered circles by and the trees sing of eclipsing magic once upon a brazen summer solstice. Oh, verdant measure the essence of the forest and petite … Continue reading
