current favorite photograph; very descriptive--the climatic shifts always at work, etc. affecting vegetation--pine trees, no exception. it appears nothing remains untouched

pine bark exfoliates in these amazing crisp-layered bites; like little jig-saw puzzle pieces


beautiful to look

a mold is but a mold--invariably beautiful and yet reclaiming its own in silence. Someone once told me that the sense of smell is possibly the most powerful; sometimes the most captivating, conjuring cues of past. I remember as a young boy receiving letters from my brother who was then fighting a war in North Vietnam. His letters were greatly anticipated. And yet, there was always something unmistakably familiar about the paper and envelope; they smelled of an earthen sweetness, a quality like no other. Forty years later I have come to understand this.

::: GARDEN

Ode to Your Exile⎯

Long after a foot
catches your behind,
little sparrows gather
there, softening your center.

Your wax lips are just beautiful⎯
pursed, perpetual
So beautiful, perused,
and pleasing.

good luck
