darkness at rising

greyness during the midday

darkness on drive home

odd jumbled shape of

colored lights in the distance–

festooned pick-up truck

between injections

dentist’s chair meditation:

“and this, too, shall pass”

—apparently my body doesn’t recognize anesthetics well, much to my (and the dentist’s) dismay

crimson maple trees

blazing color in the rain

nature on fire

storm clouds approaching

peeks of blue in the distance

ducks huddle nearby

woke to drums pounding
lightning flashing in the sky
—a striking commute

—Very strange for the Portland area. Very very strange.
And yet I can’t not pun.

each morning I check

birds’ nest on telephone pole—

two falcons? or three?

one day I’m moving
building shelves, tearing down walls
the next — unconscious

—on monthly energy swings

sign on the highway:

“Spread love thick like Nutella”

—true words to live by

soaring overhead

the falcon rides the thermals

lazy summer day

-with the extreme heat we’re seeing, the thermals must have been amazing
