A beach scene with sand dunes, beach grass in the foreground and waves with white caps hitting the shoreline. A house is in the distance in the wooded dune. The low setting sun rays are bringing warm orange light to the scene.

sun swallowed
running to flaming colors
as lust invades the mind
and scatterings around me
remind me to follow
this honest reflection
allowing the mirror to shine

Subglacially. The ice knows. It has known since before names, before warmth. In the cold black, microbes. Extremophiles unfurling. 15 million years of silence, yearning, thrust against itself. Science. The dentist chair. The drill’s hot bite—a clean, intimate crack. Oh. Hello.

autumns swan song
i stand watching
welcoming the cold stinging my face
natures necessary chill
trees have unmasked their colors
branches nearly barren
eyes see magic, not science
witness to an ancient cycle
blustery wind sweeps the last few leaves
a fleeting waltz
as winters gaze falls upon us both

11/14/25 a blustery day, the wind sweeping tall grass, and separating a few leaves from nearly barren branches

I was born of a dark intellect
I told ‘em all
As I sought to see out
Of the dark pit I was left in
The sinister pitch of his voice
Cackled mock hysteria
But I was born of dark intellect
I bit at his jugular
He died the sting
Of my #eldritch truth

Someone once claimed
that the very hairs of each head are numbered
i don't know the sum of my breaths
or heartbeats -
or anyone else's,
but maybe someday indeed
i'll know as i am known

The ghost #crab #stared at the gull, waiting to see if it was going to swoop him up into the sky only to let him #plummet back down onto the sand and crack his shell. Luckily a child walked past them, dropping crumbs as it went by and the gull forgot about the crab.

"hello sun in my face.
hello, to you who made the morning
and spread it over the fields
and into the faces of the tulips
and the nodding morning glories
and into the windows of, even, the
miserable and the crotchety —

...watch, now, how I start the day
in happiness and kindness."

~Mary Oliver

11/13 sunrise...and finally, she shines, rising from her days long hiding place, spreading golden light across the morning

The Auditor found Theseus misfiled under Agriculture. Our hero was slowly plowing labyrinths in concentric furrows, subsisting on red stringy corn. "Another fragment in the wrong section," she tutted. Theseus looked up, wide-eyed. "Má Día! No! I've finally found peace."

Running to escape time
How insane
Humankind
Turning
Churning
Burning
For what?
A dime
Chained to a clock
Tick-tock
Tick-tock
One #number after another
All in Death’s circle
Line up
Fill your cup
Life starts
Uh, where?
A place few ever go
That breath called Now

A fairy lives between my fractured selves
a tiny saboteur.
She stirs the cynic,
tugs the witch’s hair,
tips the mother off balance.
Harmony?
She laughs,
and lets my selves
fight it out.

at night 🌙
she fell into the sky
as she always did
it was the resting
place of her soul
it was her river

Doesn’t really matter
The #number of our lives
The hope in the stars told me so

We could come back or go on
As silk worms, crickets
Even three eyed monsters

It’ll always be us
Soulmate dimensions
Endless limitless

the tension
of tinkering waves
between revelation
and concealments
unfinished pieces of art
feeding the imagination
unfiltered energy
soothing the collective mind

I believe no myth
but I get lost in stories
they are the art of the teacher

and yet life itself
is a story
does it mean
there must be a Teacher?

I cannot guess Their nature
unless nature is the teacher
and so I shall study the sky
and all that is under

we are stories
nested in stories

hard measures
softened by staccato
heart beats
spaces of time, in a larger
piece, melody unbroken
over pauses
whole rests
this crescendo
but a steady lead
to the finale
coda

An ontological radiance that breathes through our finite gestures..

In its depths, strength is not opposed to fragility, for both emerge from the same source.

The rhythm of that eternal vitality adapting itself in circumstance; to sense the infinite from which all worlds were sung into motion.
