her mother had planted
amongst the deep blues,
beds of Forget-Me-Nots,
she followed the
labyrinthine trail
and through a gate unhinged,
it would seem destroyed, thrown aside,
she...

Pequot River Land Trust
Once,
or twice,
maybe thrice,
surely not
not fractal
A clan of crazy ecofeminists

in their historically converted

colonial-red predative brick
badly bald aging building
With a sometimes soggy south walled school,

What If - New Update
What if…

The Paradiddle of Being - Book One: The Struck World
I.
In the beginning was the Single Stroke Roll—
