my body racked with pain,
Nothing green in sight,
my thirst, my plight,
eyes playing tricks on me again.
An illusion of rest beside...

My lawn never got vibrant in my garden.
Life shifts slowly as the sun sets low in the sky,
As summer bids goodbye.
Sunflowers start to hide their faces,
Their vibrant...

Rebuilding the Shed In the Backyard - AgainMy son is out fixing up the shed.
Winter is coming on. Needed doing he said.
He had the time and the bound-to’s.
I’m not used to this thought process, I’m not. Not from a child.
I watch him...

How Much Vengeance Is Enough?
How Much Vengeance Is Enough?

is required to atone for sins of a few?
How many eyes must be gouged
to extract desired justice?

limping along, not able to catch up with their tribe.

from last summer.
They’re lighting the cauldron, The Games

2-minute snips
