Ghosts 9: Death By…

 

9: Death By…

Hole punch heart

More than stationary 

A series 

Of 

Neat

Round

Swiss cheese 

On brand 

Perforations 

Making 

You understand 

The trouble 

I had

With the scissors 

Ghosts 8: On Becoming A Cloud

 

8: On Becoming A Cloud

A Wisp

A Riddle 

Savory Fog

Spindles 

In offense 

To the doctors orders

Hiding all the skies

Dusken hue

China blue

Halcyon 

In perpetuity 

Limpid Pool 

That I 

Alone

Find buoyancy to keep

Hidden

Behind 

This Cloud

Ghosts 7: The Shadows Slowly Gather

 

7: The Shadows Slowly Gather

Designated 

Signal sucker

As the thoughts 

Of travel

Thru the planes

Thru the flames

On the sides 

Of the visage 

Staring back

Thru decades old specks

I will take you 

I will bring you 

To an Ivy valley 

Bitten by stone 

Trod on 

And cascading 

Emeralds abound

Allowing you privacy 

In a conical solitude 

To make up 

And dig up

A friendship 

Ado

The Feline Centinel 

Joins

As you mingle 

And promenade 

Gently 

Quietly 

Together 

As 

The Shadows 

Slowly 

Gather

Ghosts: 6: The Haunt

 

6: The Haunt

So local

The que

Not the quo

I knew

So proud 

As the 4 top

We were 

Asked 

To go

Or stop

Brunch 

Were we a group 

Or a coup

Laughably

Laughable 

As space and time 

Crept in

On this crypt

Floating 

In 

Ethereal Unconsciousness 

As a favorite 

Has 

A dish 

Served 

Cold and Collected 

How many Ghosts will be released this week?

Strategy

That's all it takes

Every Day

When you've grown

In the woods

Amongst

The most invasive plants

Strategy

Numbers

&

Scenarios

Trouble Shot

& 

Worked around

I settle like sand

Churned up 

Like the Desert of Maine

Same Plot

Twisted

By the same Crop

Its a cat 

Of nine tails 

Now

Heard 

Clocking Out

After The OverTime

Triple Time

& 

Holiday Pay

The Living to Work

Stuck the Landing

As it fulfilled 

The next round

Of Famine

For the sake 

Of Carrying it over

To feast

& 

Feed

Endlessly

Until We 

Dig

Deeper

For more

Strategy

Portal in Time

 

The Heart 

Breaks again 

Gentle glass

Slivers and shards 

I’ll sing you to sleep 

I’ll pet your silver threads

Anything to break

This spell

It’s not 

Insensitivity 

That teases you so

It’s not 

How timing 

Just won’t line up

It’s this 

Double loss

It’s this

Not being able to jump through 

This 

Portal in Time

That holds 

You fixed

In

The ability 

To rewind 

This 

Portal in Time

A gift

That will remain 

Forever lost

In the tossing and turning 

Of your 

Never Ending 

Fog

That now 

Owns you 

In the knowledge 

Of a wish

Answered 

And 

Forever 

Out of Reach

Garden Explosion!

Just a few snaps from our Garden today...

Peony 

We only have one

But

It is going crazy with blooms!

It was supposed to be 

a very productive week 

in the Garden last week...

But the Wildfire Smoke situation

 was way beyond what my system could take.

I got this done last Monday

As you can see

We are building up beds as we go

with our cardboard acting as weed block

or as it appeared to be

very fun toys 

for the baby foxes to rip up

& drag all over

and I wouldn't have it any different...

The Summer Wine Nine Bark came into its own this year

Took a few years

but

worth the wait.

Humming Bird Loving the Irises

we love them too!

Cranesbill Geranium

Has become a full shrub for us here...

and 3 others have popped up for us in not so far off spots....

Free plants 

Thank Goodness!!!

There are other regions of garden bed building here

The process is going way too slow for me

especially not being able to be out in it last week...

We have propagations of plants from cuttings that are doing well...

There are some nice bits of colorful 

vertical interest...

And

We finally got our Mailbox!

after 7yrs

installed and functional

&

Giving me more thoughts on Landscaping for 

minimal

Low maintenance

scenarios around it...

Evergreen Groundcovers anyone...???

Anyway

Life is happening at lightspeed over here...

Posts may be intermittent while a few wrinkles 

get ironed out

lots of decisions that require

full attention and time.

Wish us luck!

I Spoke To Trees: 31~ Feather House Holiday

 

31: 

Feather House Holiday 

Shrink

Me

Down to size 

Fit me 

To your nest

I will witness 

You 

On your 

Feather House Holiday 

That you 

Withdrew to

Expertly

In fashion 

Leaving 

All

Of us 

Behind 

In the woods

The spark

Sense memory 

Sits

On digital

Formats

Organic 

&

Non

Buzzing 

As only

The heartbeat 

Flutter 

Of wings 

Could 

Come 

Inspecting 

And Inviting 

Me

To flirt along
