HAIKU
On the yellowed wall,
five faded marks, a child’s life
measured in inches

rest stop
my hitchhiker buzzes
toward the dumpster
A man died today
Does that Great Fire burn brighter?
Can you measure tears?

#thischarmingcaramel
Here is a black and white nature photo of an acorn split in have, revealing its heart shape inside. The seed half rests in the upper left side, its top slightly tilts left on a fallen log. In the background, textures of cracks and wood chips dip in and out of the bokeh. Fun fact: The average oak produces 2,000 to 10,000 acorns a year. During the tree’s “mast year,” which occurs every 2-5 years to ensure survival, it produces 10,000 acorns. Also known as bumper crops, this massive output helps the seeds escape being eaten. Nature is incredible. I couldn’t help but wonder, what about our output of love? Is more love in our lives the answer to our survival? Focusing on building supportive communities, friendship, and nurturing the land feels right. For us, every year can be a mast year; this realization inspired the latest alliterative senryu from my journal. existence fractures in oak's shade I drop 10,000 hearts
