Its fine line...

Mother Earth: Garden WombMother Earth:Garden Womb
She is not virginal
Not unused

Needing a faithful
Husbandman.
For she was present
In the first garden;
Feeling the...

The View of the SugarbushRippling soil sways in ways
In ways a maestro drunkenly
Displays their baton, Earth in
Perfect fluid Earthen motion

Each movement weaves effortless
In majesty.
Hickory smoke leaves...

I. Anthropocentric Dissonance
- Daniel Henry Rodgers
Within ancient woodlands, where echoes rumble,
We hush the murmuring trees — for fleeting gains:
Humans, self-appointed sovereigns, decree
What flourishes, what withers, evolving into a species

Do I Mind, Alone, Just Being Thought Silly?Alone… would I be wrong to call myself a fool?

Wash my fair feet, silver stream
as you whisper to the pebbles,

GHOSTI am the ghost of your journey,
Failures of your past,
I am a shadow of you,
Made of cockroaches of the night ,
I am a video on silence,
Of the uglies in your closet.
