leaves fall where they may
then a man with a machine
blows them all away

once summer’s shade
now winter’s blanket
I trust my instincts

Looking up at two giant gingko trees, their light green leaves turning yellow against a robins egg blue sky in early autumn Deeper gold color as leaves start to carpet the forest floor in November in a seemingly endless grove of meticulously planted symmetrical rows of mature gingko. Spots of sunlight reach the ground through the canopy. A few people in the distance walking

Yellow dog barks up at a squirrel in a tree from the leafy mulch. She is leashed, with a purple collar. Not pictured, the squirrel in question has short tail from a prior injury.

Bleed out into a pad of finely woven sheep’s wool for the 3rd time in 45 days, after 60 days of not bleeding never knowing I will feel more animalistic each time Like the lamb, I have no say in this sacrifice soaking into the sheep’s wool, I relax my less human body exchanging my life blood is a comfort and a sorrow energy flows both ways: in and out, then all out I rinse my blood away in earth cold water like every woman who ever stood in a rainstorm fed stream in a bubbling brook, washing anything For all of eternity, washing away my youth the stain of womanhood. I am an imperfect circle just like everything else that is wild

while English ivy

Green English ivy dominates a stone wall. A single vine of Virginia creeper towards the right of the frame stands out in red fall color.

if I could talk
instead of bark
I’d simply ask
if you’d walk me to the park

Yellow dog with white fur on her chest and toes and white and pink on her nose. She lays on a gray blanket on her stomach facing the camera with her front paws crossed. She looks at the camera. She is wearing a light purple collar. Behind her is a radiator and a window, and it looks like a nice day outside.
