My beloved tells me that the first of the tetrads- full moons that happen to fall on Jewish feast days this almost never happens and last happened in 1948 and 1967 In the next 12 months it will happen four times We are not Jewish but we pay attention… Romeo is a biblical scholar I am […]

In dreams
Don’t you just hate it when you have dreams that make no sense even wile they are happening? Last night was one of those nights and I, for one, was happy when the alarm stuck a wooden stake in it ending the nightmares at 4:45… Burned out offices, dead people- alive; hanging out with people I do […]
Reverse Negative
Reverse Negative In photography, a reverse negative is a print of the negative image where once was light- now darkness where there is dark, it glows *** I have moments in the shadows seconds in the sunlight there are epochs when daylight seems a darker shade of night… blue satin sky inky velvet night […]
Fatigue
Dawn, not yet broken, I awaken early; birds yet to chirp or coffee to perk. I feel as if I never slept in my dream wracked night. It is still dark! I yawn… already, needing a nap…
Spring Approximately
Today, the Ides of March! I wonder what Caesar was feeling when he awakened on this fateful day many centuries past… I, stepped out into Spring!

This evening- homemade Pazole. I wonder what […]

I can feel a change coming in the air tonight…

Romeo continues to work the garden beds He’s planted a few tomato plants sowed peas, radishes; he, humbly, grumbly considered my potential cucumber hoops instead of the standard upright trellis… Since the execution […]
The face in the mirror
My face is rumpled… a splash of sunlight and smiles, of freckles and porcelain… of promises broken and fulfilled of motherhood and loss of motherhood and disappointment of love and of ecstasy and constant sorrow of the woodlands and the meadow of the shoreline and the sea of the firmament and the cosmos my face […]
Valentine Moon
Valentine sky filled with the soft tawny glow of this February Moon; Snow Moon of the Human Beings, the natives of this land. First pulled to the window then all the way outdoors to watch the ascent in the eastern darkness staring and moving to view the beauty from behind the naked trees my bare […]
