I wish I lived in Scotland
Och, aye, in a wee stone house,
Maybe in a valley or on a bit of land
Somewhere in the Borders of the south.
...
(Jackson County, Ky)
We liked to go there
dropp down beside its cascading waters
...
All made up
sheets fresh
Quilted spread
fluffy pillows
...
from a terra cotta site
aging years erupt with rage
to claim control
while ripening hearts fizzle
...
(inspired by Meggie Gultiano and Karin Anderson)
Just look at the Eden
around you
...
how
many
thoughts have passed
wisps of a breeze
...
Work
What should be just play
Was turned into toil for pay.
...
Seeds expelled to wander the desert air
Finding refuge in burial soil of a promised land.
An opened petal soon dies;
...
....water from the tap - can’t put it back
.................toothpaste - tried to put it back
..................gossiping - behind my back
..............angry words - can’t take them
...
the first streams
of nights melody
harvest moon
...
