Now that
the Angel of Death
is definitely in my proximity
all my minor maladies
like #cataracts and sore feet
have suddenly
lost significance
in the grand hierarchy
of dwindling Earthly concerns

Oh the irony
that only at the end
do we find Perspective

She broke free from the swirl of girls spilling from classrooms and ran to the tree-lined perimeter of the field. From her orbital view, she saw Penelope and her entourage cut a strip through the crowd and slipped behind the trunks hoping to stay out of sight until the bell sounded.

fragrance on the evening air
stirs a memory almost there
sharp and sad and sweet
at once
stills me for the moment
childhood
evening
home
knowing love and comfort
wait for me
in the old brick house
on Marcy Street

My #rhapsody at the #lake, a visual #poetry with #nature. A series, part two. #vss35

Percy awakens me, a gentle lick. We lay for a few minutes eyelash to eyelash. Sometimes he'll snuggle in and we can sleep again. Today, an aggressive lick and a snuffle #prompt me to rise. He wants outside, then food, then laying on my feet. I want coffee and a human love as deep as Percy's. #vss35

Spreading on the couch
Lazy kitty showing off
Pure depravity
