Seamus Sept. 5, 2025 The morning you were born, the rain was scattered with sun. It was the sort of morning you expect breath to be seen: the first hope of a jacket; the first chorus of yellow leaves shaking on the branches; the sumac and swamp maple, and the ivy around a small stump, all going red. By the afternoon, the rain was hardly a memory on the asphalt, so I went to the water because little blessings deserve prayers, and the river taught me how to pray.
Seven turkey vultures sunbathed in brown grass before they crowned a cloud. A heron preened oily feathers on a grey stone surrounded by smooth water. Spiders spun the wet sun from their webs. A stone can carry a wish in the right water: the way the right rock from the right hands, here, could go skipping on forever. The river always remembers a name born in the rain; the way the water striders keep spelling it out. Amazing, how a pink knuckle of lady’s thumb can hold the whole bank back: amazing, how two little hands and one, big breath can change the world.
"...The river always remembers a name born in the rain; the way the water striders keep spelling it out...."

King Tides by Taunja Thomson Brighter & brighter, moon & pumpkin, season moves, sumptuous orbs like the pupil in the center of our irises widening to catch the scarcer light. Rub bare branch with fingertips, flick ruby leaves, remember June’s cherries, claret, hard, shiny, how the lemon leaves of now call to mind September’s golden delicious. October has its own ambrosia, maple flames, burning bushes, bulrushes copper-bending. Wend your way through thinning thicket to grey road. See redtop’s amaranth gleam in sun, bottlebrush skeleton seedhead bob in rain, see how they grow in ditch & puddle, thrive in the muddle between nature & human, ransacked by caterpillar & mouse & fawn-winged sparrow. Learn to love autumnal darkness like you love night’s receding in March, like king tides giving way to the distant moon.
"...Learn to love autumnal darkness like you love night’s receding in March, like king tides giving way to the distant moon."

"I always wanted to die young. But I’m still here. The fire is reduced to a smolder, but the ashes don’t blow away. We’re all still here, those of us who still are..."
