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

it is often through unlearning
the soul, at last, finds rest

in wisdom
the creatures teach
beautiful stillness
p-a-t-i-e-n-c-e
the wind alone breathes
as she waits
waits until she no longer seems real to me
but soon, what she seeks comes to her
and...
swiftly she strikes

a sheer act of rebellion against the dying of the light
staving off
death's grim business
another turn
on the fading, dangling
leaves of a shifting
dance floor
She pulsates
beautiful blooded and vibrant
no whispering -
declaring
until the end -
I LIVE

moss witch: It is no caprice - I long to withdraw to the forest. To live quietly. To feed animals. Listen to birdsong. Write poems in the old language. Sing of bygone days. Dream through the ending of this age.

Scarecrow: I fear the eventuality of the fading of the siren's song.
Magpie: The song is rooted within you. Listen - until it sings in your blood and your soul. Listen to the sound of eternity between heartbeats. Listen as the song roars over the storm.

Scarecrow *lamenting*: The storms are destroying my garden patch.
Magpie: Then we'll go to the lake of the world. It is stocked with stories. Even still.

heated rush
currents of air banding
conspiring together
no thermals rising to lift the wing
but vortexing
as they seek to fell the sky

can hear the rustling of a wrapper anywhere in the house

The "Overview" for DREAD THE BOARDS is much better these days. (It used to claim DREAD was about the fear of taking tests. LOL)

In a great flow with one of my manuscripts (upper middle grade/young adult horror). Going to lock in and step away from social media for a bit. Be back soon. Enjoy your summer/winter (depending on your hemisphere), everyone!

Nope. Nope. Not even close. I just want to go on the record: DREAD THE BOARDS is not about a fear of taking tests. It is a play on the phrase "tread the boards" - totally different concept.
