poem-loon laughter July 21, 2014
Ghostly calls across the lake
loons declaiming poetry
its harmonic tones drowned
by strident laughter
in the cabin next door
from a less musical loon.
.
On the right of the photo, the two small white dots on the water are the loons.
Poem- What I learned
What I learned about you:
- you did not hang the stars
- you did not shave the moon
- you did not fuel the sun
- you make me super nova
- you make me new each months
- you make me shine
What I learned about us:
- we’re celestial
- we’re changing
- we’re burning
poem-time July 20, 2014
I remember you: new
baby powder smell
tiny ears like velvet
cries like a lamb
and here is your
baby daughter
in my arms.
poem- hollows
I wait
in the hollow place
for you
You happily celebrate
the concavities
but appreciate
the complexities
of the convexities.
In hollow places
grace erases traces
of solemnity and
embraces totality,
while
I wait
for you.
poem-lake love July 19, 2014
Here,
listening to the loons,
with you,
is a precious moment
of forever.

poem- triage
Are you breathing?
Are you beating?
Are you bleeding?
Are you broken?
.
Breathless
Heart pounding
Blood surging
In pieces
.
Do they
hospitalize
for
Love?

Two hundred

eight
souls
rise
as
two
hundred
ninety-
eight
bodies
fall
from
the
sky.

Happy Anniversary, handsome. Sam Heughan has nothing on you.
awesome site- Maddie on Stuff
I have discovered a really lovely website of charming dog photos. Photographer Theron Humphreys photographs Maddie the Coon Hound in all sorts of places. She’s a very easy going dog, and his photos have a delightful whimsy about them. Enjoy!
Oh! Maddie and Theron also have book!
