dark summer nights
deep in the forest
starflowers

dark summer nights
deep in the forest
starflowers
phosphorescent
moss
.
.
summer sunlight —
circles
of
shimmering
minnows
swimming in the pond
.
.
jigsaw puzzle pain
broken tailbone shifts
all the pieces
scrape and grind
.
.
summer night
electric colors!
fireflies
caught
in mason jars
.
.
summer night
fish leap in the moonlight
shimmering stars
cover the lake
.
.
summer night
tumbling
through
my fingers
sstars shimmer
floating
on the lake
.
.
Christmas in August!
celebrating today
a year in my new home
โฅโฅโฅ
.
.
broken tailbone —
Kaiser
Horizon
Pryer Falls
and finally
tomorrow
a place of my own!
.
(memories from a year ago: broke my tailbone 04/07/24 and was at the hospital 6 days then moved to Horizon for a month and Pryer Falls for a bit over three months — and then to my new home ๐ )
.
.
moonlit night
whispers in the wind
cat
chasing shadows
.
.
yesterday’s found riches!
exploring boxes and boxes
of books
.
.
midnight
stalking
shadows
cat’s
velvet
paws
.
.
car’s air conditioner
blowing only hot air —
freon gods on strike!
.
.
living in text limbo
ยท
I need some bananas
unless no one has time —
what does “okay” mean?
.
.
dark forest night
sweeping across the landscape
moon-fire
.
.
summer heat
the setting sun
fire-red rays
sinking
into the horizon
.
.
snail mail
gone in thin air!
do people still get monthly
government checks?
.
.
morning rituals —
bumble bees sip sweet nectar
cherry blossom trees
.
.
summers at the beach
waves crash against the shore
tickling sunburnt toes
.
.
midnight starlight
dancjng on the river’s edge
shimmering fireflies
.
.
hot summer days
no power needed โ
baking cookies
in the sun
.
‘
waking smiles
morning sunlight
streaming through
closed
venetian blinds
.
.
lonely afternoon
even patio shadows
blend to solid grey
.
.
grief that never ends
your last spoken words
I can’t take it
let me go
.
.
vibrant colors!
reds
yellow
oranges
purples
blues —
songbird serenade
.
.
grey ghost —
whitetail deer
walks the forest
in silence
.
ย
ย
.
lightning bugs!
tiny specks of starlight
dancing in the night
.
.
ย deep in the forest
aย frozen deer —
the
sound
of snapping
twigs
.
.
midnight
fireflies!
kaleidoscopes
dancing
in the trees
.
.
sizzling summer heat
no power needed — baking
cookies in the sun
.
uncle bill
sitting beside me at dinner —
yet so far away
.
deep in the forest
moss
creeps
silently
up
ancient
trees
.
