Travel

I long to travel:
Wanderlust tugs at my soul.

Maine screams my name,
The ocean calls for its siren far away.

Salem calls me,
Whispering tales of young girls lost to time.

Montreal commands me:
The lady of the Cathedral awaits me.

Virginia cries, longing for my return.
Her rivers swell with tears.

The Painted Desert shrivels under the sun's harsh gaze,
wishing its adventurer's return.

  • winter coming

    winter's coming on fast- 
    better chop enough wood. 

    pluck the last fruits of the harvest- 
    then say goodnight to the garden, 
    resting under a blanket of leaves and love. 

  • Goodbye Whisper

    In the vet's office.
    My bunny, sedated.
    They are coming soon with the second shot.

    She had a good life. I hope she finds peace.
    I'm going to miss her so much.
    I love you, Whisper. I'm sorry.

  • in the "olden times"

    Do you think people 100 years ago, in rural Vermont, looked up at the sky, at the milky way, the moon and all the stars? Do you think they marveled at them, and taught their children the constellations?
