You made it out alive. Not giving in to the wells insatiable appetite. But I bet you have clay on your boots and under your nails. You’re alive. Clay washes off. Mud will settle. Much needed water fresh on the table. ~ *Bois d’ arc aka Lions Mane, A poetic conversation, 2024.

Pictures Once he was behind the house where no one could see him, he started pacing. Long breaths escaped from his lungs in a failing attempt to regain control over his emotions. His lungs and his heart were burning. It seemed like hours before he could compose himself. When he wentContinue reading “Sunshine Valley”

Shrinking out of sight
Last night as I was laying in my bed; trying to go to sleep, I remember from my youth a dream. It concerned me to the point of a scream. ~ I remember all the objects seemed to get bigger.

Circles around the sun

Imagine the scandal
Mowing. I have enough battery life that I can mow for an hour. The weather app said 35% chance of rain. Kentucky weather is so fickle. A 5% chance of rain could mean that it will rain all day. And a 85% chance of rain means nothing. As I’m mowing the small side of myContinue reading “Imagine the scandal”
