a modicum of
arbitrary presence

{august break no. 23}

 

::

the rainy afternoon
that calls you outside
to sit still and
listen
for echoes of rainbow
in shapes of thunder

the tiny white spider
that slides down, down,
down
an invisible thread
to hover and spin
at your side

the slip and drift
that make it possible
to blindly dive through
silence
while wishing to be
nowhere

but here.

harvest

summer sun
hot, hot
golden glow
singing songs
of ripening

in a farmer’s field
a day’s work
transforms gold
into stubble

earth’s cycle
laid bare
in the light
of labor’s
morning

life, blooming

Today I am over at Amy Oscar’s place,

as part of her Summer Wisdom Series:

Blooming.

I was so honored that she invited me to participate,

and would love it if you stopped over to say hello!

Today I am over at Vision & Verb

trying to find my way in this crazy black and white world.

And wondering if I’m the only one…

wearing my dunce cap.

But I am thinking about getting rid of it for good…

Today I am over at Vision & Verb

breaking up with winter, and hopefully,
