Air

All the windows and doors open all day with no AC running, hearing the birds and wind again in my little home, piling on blankets to ward off the overnight chill while I listen to crickets in the dark…this weather is absolute bliss and the panthers and I are soaking it up as much asContinue reading “Air”

Melting Dripping Summer

My folks are out of town and as I live on their property amongst the giant pecan trees, I offered to help out with the kitties and the garden. They are off to cruise from Iceland to Norway over the edge of the Arctic Circle and their days and nights probably aren’t getting warmer thanContinue reading “Melting Dripping Summer”

Sunday

Sitting thinking there was nothing to write about these days. And my mind is such a whirlwind that I can’t even remember who I’ve told about my dad and his brain surgery a few weeks ago. Have I even written about it here? That’s a later post if not. I woke on the day afterContinue reading “Sunday”

There areContinue reading “Stepping in the footprints of giants”

Sanguine skies

We laid there In a dream I didn’t want to wake from so I closed my eyes And imagined your hand floating above me, A sea of sharp sunlight stabbing Between your fingers and The sanguine skies reflected the sun in your blood Until my eyes shone red with Love for you, this moment TheContinue reading “Sanguine skies”

I am the skies before the rain

I am the skies before the rain, sticky sweet as an unexpected kiss, I cling to you like sweat on skin, hugging you close with breath hot, my teeth on the back of your neck, my nails deep inside you. I am the anticipation of wet earth, the smell that makes your eyes close inContinue reading “I am the skies before the rain”
