bathed in light
I can almost touch
it feels alive around me
enveloping
I feel my ancestors fear
and respect
as I capture it
on digital SD card
Because you’re upside down
in my mind
You may as well change the light
Or keep us blind
As we sit here in my head
all night
in this life. I must put back
more life in my years. Living
in strife. My rage is sheer as my silk

stockings. Shuffling through the day
like an actor in a play. The only thing
dropping by are the pigeons firing

bombs. Banging my head like a tom-tom,
waiting for something to hatch. But the only thing
I catch is a cold. I roll through

this afternoon as a ball of green and blue
yarn the cat's unraveled. A tangled string
that hasn't traveled past her backyard.
A joker in a deck of cards.
Buy one get one free,
Jealousy > headache,
Anger  >acidity,
Hatred>ulcer,
Stress >high blood pressure,
And happiness> peace.
Buy wisely.

A tuft of gray feathers
A pile of leaves
A collection of secrets
That no one believes
Deep in the forest
There’s barely a breeze
Just soft spoken whispers
Reflecting off trees
A squirrel, a mouse
A bear, and some deer
Each moment captured
Is like a breath of fresh air
