to keep them from taking apart my bird feeders.

With xylophonic fingers they lift the lids and unscrew until the feeders

She is 98 and sweeps sweeps sweeps her patio away
Every day for hours
Arms wrapped around her broom
Bride groom

between us all, we are still never here --

Hippocampus

What a memory trickling down my limbic system
Pure deep emotion released from a firing brain

	Neurons transmitted untainted joy

With colors creating crystal glowing dreams

Angels come in peace from...

Fill your bucket, water some,

Three years of drought,
And then the flood it comes,
Brown snakes are swimming all about,
See the...
