My siren cries
One repeated question
Is Alexander alive?
No, my love
Tears drown the socks
booties
blankets
bedding
She welcomed the tide
consumed in grief
enveloped by waves
Forever leaving me to wonder if I’d lost her, too
Month: June 2014
Who cooks for you?
Silent swoop
ghost wings
liquid orbs
Hiding from my lens
whispering
your daily inquiry
Tiffany blue
framed in
boisterous branches
I wait for your call
Who cooks for you?
Who cooks for you all?

Nutscene Twine
My favorite things
Comfort
Peace
Love
Belonging
Vintage typewriters
Sheet music and poetry scribbles
Corkscrew curls
Grecian urns filled with ivy
White gravel roads
Citrine landscapes under azure skies
Busy bird feeders
Milkweed tufts nesting in terracotta pots
Champagne fluted calla lilies
Mountaintops and river bottoms
Sunlit dust particles
Solitary runs on my secret trail
When I look nice
When I capture someone’s spirit on camera
Squash blossoms
Wicker baskets full of lined leather journals
Nutscene Twine
Corrugated box
Charcoal lettered 1920s graphics
Lined with burlap
Untouched since last season
Perfect rows of woven jute
Muted tones of brick-red, olive-green and ivory
accentuated by a pewter scissors
grosgrain tied around the curved handle
I cut and wrap and fasten glossy green life
to a lifeless arbor
Teardrop rosebuds yield to my hands
blossom in response to support
These tasks comfort me
My mind is clear
My spirit generous
My heart is happy
