nesting herons

So this summer thus far has found me in the midst of home repairs and remodeling which has kept me away from weekend journeys with my camera. Imagine my surprise and humbling luck when I discovered a heron nest in my own backyard! My best guess, based on what I’ve seen of them, is thatContinue reading “nesting herons”

pneuma

some days i am pretty where my wild things seem to bloom other days i chance the mirror to find dead sea eyes staring back at me some days i am a ghost letting the world take hold and strangle me other days i am a wolf, howling loudly with every bit of surety someContinue reading “pneuma”

fuse

at horizon’s last dance i clench the sun with unfettered wings in waning stance no great rush to touch the void too much ado adjoining burns with such a choice subject to learn each yearn shall find its voice in turn in ethereal parade cluttering the sky the dreams and fears of pilgrimages forlorn collideContinue reading “fuse”

colors

barter

drifting in this cosmic womb of rain to you, this harbour beneath the shore my mind resigning its weight, a bare jewel afloat, to kelp fields, dense and fragments dark, guiding in this underwater dance floor traversing through your canopies wild seasons unfold before my eyes gardens spring blooms from a winter’s release while theContinue reading “harbour”
