Beyond My Curtain

Gust steals nut
Evening the score
Squirrel breaks wind

Short story in ALT: ⬇️
Here is a shot of Sassy the squirrel, outside my writing window. The momentary pause of insult barking allowed me to take a seemingly serene nature photo. But don’t be fooled; this grey bark licker is giving me the stink eye. It’s a bright day—light through tender leaves frames the scene, and our forest beyond is a lovely blurred backdrop. Sassy is leaning hunched on the poplar limb, all hands and feet gripped tightly to the bark. This side-body-view shows the elegant curl of its fluffy tail, hooked beneath the limb for balance. Sassy’s black almond-shaped eye stares into your soul. Bonus story: Five years ago, I received daily belligerent visits from this fluffer-nutter. Each morning, I’d wake and peacefully start the day with a few paragraphs before breakfast, and Sassy would watch me while barking and doing an interpretive bristle-tailed shuffle along the limb. One blustery day, the south wind snatched a peanut from those teensy hands. The wild-eyed rodent thrashed around afterwards like it was a premeditated assault. Which led to my free verse haiku: Beyond My Curtain Gust steals nut Evening the score Squirrel breaks wind I will say this about Sassy: “That squirrel passionately barked up every tree, and made our world chuckle.” I miss the long walks we’d take together. With one eye peeled for a drop assassination, I strolled as Sassy stalked me with the bare minimum of twig snaps and rustling leaves. When I paused, taking a photo, barking would echo down from above. Our loving rivalry will never be forgotten.

Through Halloween night I'm going to post a series of spooky haiku inspired by Eldritch horror.

I turn off the light-
the darkness
is already waiting

A jaunty yellow Lupinus Arboreus (Tree Lupin) standing tall and proud. It rises from the main green shrub. In the background are other native shrub and brush as found near the black sand coastline of Te Henga | Bethells Beach. The big blue of the NZ sky sings through the tree's limbs. A hearty yellow/gold Gazania Rigens (Treasure Flower) nestled low within the surrounding green and tan native grasses. Taken near Te Henga | Bethells Beach.
