Just Hangin'

Sometimes,
when prospects get confusing
it helps to simply mellow
and let gravity show the way.

Overcast. A cool 52.
Damp breeze. Turn up collar.
Red-eyed bluet hides in the grass.
Elf Orpine beginning to bud
    inflates its tiny presence
    for the Lilliputian power show
    a fortnight hence.
Early morning shower.
Slippery rocks
    reflect the silver light.
Leg strength not available.
Huff and puff.
Careless steps unacceptable.
Humidity grabs my throat.
Shirt feels wet…

Yes Minnesota

     Yes Minnesota, the Nation's deep freeze seizes Atlanta like the rest of the country.  Fortunately the mercury here reads 'below 30', NOT '30 below'.  Low 20's at night.  It's my annual opportunity for numb thumbs and frozen fingers in pursuit of nature's infinite and glorious patterns.

So I've Been Told

It's Easy for a rock to look bold
Cause it don't mind the cold
Or, so I've been told.

May your abstractions grow
May your fantasies thrive
May your footprints last forever.

Under Lite Fog

     After many weeks and months of sustained drought, with relentless bright sun and cloudless skies, yesterday's rain and today's morning fog seemed otherworldly. An evanescent blessing for an unrequited crank with camera.

Alchemy Au Naturale

A delicate leaf
Floats on quicksilver
An alchemist's wet dream.

The Perfect Thought

.

.
While dodging my intrusive muddle
     Hankering for a mellow fettle,

A perfect breeze saves the day
     The perfect thought sails my way.
