In transition
Done is one day, the
Next has not yet begun
Instant
Gone
Hush - so fleeting is

Male Brown-winged Striped Sweat Bee
(Agapostemon splendens)

Florida Tickseed flowers
(Coreopsis floridana)

Crew flint pen strand trails
Bonita Springs, FL 3-20-26

Green bee with black and yellow horizontally striped abdomen on sunny yellow petals caught pollinating.

that we think of ghosts

as human:
more evidence
of arrogance,

our imaginations,
limited as senses,
one-eyed, cataractous, and deaf,

as if a spirit
can’t be a bee returning
to a favorite flower.

my friend
is a mouse
who lives in the walls

at a quarter to twelve
i meet him in the #corner
with a plate full of cheese

we talk about spaceships
and out-of-body experiences

he swears
we were married
in past lives

I let them -- till they pass
harmony will take place
eventually

Dear Diary,
It's been a month now and I have no idea what they want from me. I cannot clean, someone does it for me, I cannot cook because someone else does that too.

I move, and from the #dark corners I know that they are watching.

Something grows inside me, feeding on my soul.

flickering fenland
ghost-fire dances in midnight air
piercing foggy veil
blue flames like unquiet #souls
lead unwary to their doom

Life blazes, warm and bright over the landscape, and death casts a shadow.
His figure #looms, hooded face like a mountainside, and most people avoid him all they can.
To some, he's an old friend, and they sometimes go to sip tea in his shade and enjoy respite from the sun.

dover sole air
missing her #Haiku

Humbled by
the wintry weather,

being boss,
tides slowly
turning

There’s no consolation for this
No window to the windy world
No clouds scuttling and suddenly erupting into a sunset so beautiful it makes your ribs hurt
No peach pie baking in the old oven and filling the house with its smell
There’s just us
The poisoned air
The regret

the laundry washed but
not dried
rewash
lately it can be 3 days
rewash rewash
or even 4
it gets done
water energy guilt
but this life
so lonely
so lost
rewash
sick again
privileged despair
privileged terror free
grateful
sad
living so close to health
health visits
rewash

"It was only a matter of time before the Martians deported us," she said, "we don't look or talk like them, and they claim we're lazy". He knew it was too dangerous to go back to Earth, but where would 50 million refugees go, "the mining colonies might have us," he ventured.

through stacks of boxes
led by the voices of #ancestors
I found a teacup
with its own dainty #saucer,
wrapped in newspaper,
a headline dated 1957
announcing federal civil rights legalization
a pivotal moment in history
they want to erase
the same year as my birth

The river #seethed like water in an old washing machine. Deep currents rose to the top like a pot of boiling water, and surface waves crashed into each other. The kayakers upstream could hear the violence downstream, but steep canyon walls thwarted any scouting. #vs365

I took all the #brownies
from the top shelf
I wasn't going to tell you
but I know you tasted chocolate
on the edge of my mouth
as we kissed goodbye this morning
It was the sweetest thing
both the brownies and the kiss
Oh yes
there is still the odd one left

#Spiritual servants of power
Worshipers of the false one
Cut themselves and others off
From our true shared nature

As beings:
Of many forms
Of endless becoming
Of joyous communion

Signs of the many, endless,and joyous
Are outside and within us
Limned upon every breath and bone.
