the linear world.
Such miracles ...

And GREAT idea, Cdn! Hi to Barbara, long time no talk!

Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty
~Albert Einstein
No light,
sleeping casually
without words
to know.
and somehow a dog
has taken itself & its tail considerably away
into the mountains or sea or sky, leaving
behind: me, wag.
- John Berryman
Pull back the cover,
Cold,
Come warm me.
I'm in love with The Vinegar Man and Mr. Tanner, but be careful, it could just as easily be you.

Prince,
that clever fellow,
and why
eight words?
Imprisoning by words only
The poem become soulless
“Those who seek to satisfy the mind of man by hampering it with ceremonies and music and affecting charity and devotion have lost their original nature””
“If water derives lucidity from stillness, how much more the faculties of the mind! The mind of the sage, being in repose, becomes the mirror of the universe, the speculum of all creation.
By the road side;
an iron bar, bleeding.

This day
Beckoning blue
No clouds
Birds singing

Not being able to write
is certainly itchy.
.
...the smell of flowers through metal labyrinths.
Black clouds
lightning
in my head
then sunshine
Hi, Kiz! You're right, I've been very lazy of late.
O schaurig ists übers Moor zu gehn,
wenn es wimmelt vom Heiderauche,
sich wie Phantome die Dünste drehn
und die Ranke häkelt am Strauche.
Annette von Droste-Hülshoff (1797 - 1843) (see avatar) Der Knabe im Moor/The Lad in the Moor
stone skin
grey and
weathering
crumbling with
time

Tilt to the sun.
Accept
its joyful grace.

Second day, gray,
that's okay,
spring rain needed.
