Literature
Is the butter
Of genres.
Sure, you can live
Off bread,
But when a story
Melts in your mouth,
You’re glad you’re
Not yet dead.

Beaver Moon feeling itself

Beaver Moon feeling itself
I graduated Magna Cum Laude
And am a Doctor of Philosophy,
But to me the greatest education
Has come from following the Latin
Meaning of the word: to lead out.
I am amazed by all that nature,
Every single day, still teaches me.

This is Luna,
Our daughter’s domestic rabbit,
Who loves bananas
And is very fond of
Mint hidden in her hay.
She’s named after the moon,
Another celestial goddess
Who is deep black
Despite appearances
To the contrary,
And who also loves to play.

Frog pond update! 🐸
After several weeks of tadpoles getting legs and growing fatter but reluctant to leave the pond in cool weather, our family spotted this courageous little creature yesterday and our daughter-in-law and grandson were the first to hold one!

Halloween
It’s a scene
Beavers and butterflies
Bunnies and pink pony guys
And a queer af family
Living free in America
With neighbors and friends
Hoping for no spooky

“Babe,” she calls from the bath. “Can you bring me my coffee? I forgot it.”
“Sure!” I say, thinking I’d be happy to do this until her hair turns argent.
Looking around the kitchen, I see no cup.
“Never mind!” she calls. “I found it!”
Well, I guess the future really does rush up.

Hey #vss365 I’m doing an #experiment today by sharing a poem of mine that appears in the We’Moon calendar and features the word prompt of the day.
“What if love really were enough?”

Monday vibes:
With Hurricane Melissa driving through the Caribbean and rain already falling here at dawn, I creep from the kitchen with my coffee, greet my dog lovingly, and hope the honey heart in my cup radiates out to all, wherever you are, and keeps you safe from harm.

In Egypt it was serious,
When Sirius rose
And the Nile flowed.
In Greece it wasn’t peace,
Sailors watched the Pleiades
To start on high seas.
What water stars,
I wonder, will rise heliacal
When we dare to see
Food for everyone
And journeys without guns,
As all waters are one.

My motto (and any political parties who’d like to adopt it as a 3-part plan can be my guest):
Less terror.
More terroir.
And much more terrier.

One of the many things I love about beavers is the way they do their work at night unseen. The trees you see behind their lodge and pond were saved from devastating wildfires because of this one beaver family’s ability to engineer ecosystems that remain resilient and green.

Our daughter’s German boyfriend made us dinner tonight, and I served a homemade apple pie for dessert. International relations still exist.
