It May Have Thorns

Like the flower you gave me
and the words you chose
so I give my love
as you gave me the rose.

Though it is not perfect
and could cause you pain
for its scent is sweet now
but may fade again.

There is not much more
that I can say or do
and though it may have thorns
I give my love to you.

Early Morning Alarm

Red breasted sapsucker

5 a.m. – Amplified knocking sound awakens everyone within a mile radius.
This clever little sapsucker has figured out that pecking on the bird houses dotted around our acreage gets his territorial signal across loud and clear.

Life Explained

When we remember we are all mad,
the mysteries of life disappear and life stands explained.
~Mark Twain

Reading List

If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking.
~Haruki Murakami

Nosebleed

alder blood

Life blood flows out mouth, nose
into soaked red rags,
bleeding my future, clotting my past,
scaring me into solitude.
Who wants to be around bleeding hearts,
sad mouth breathers
who can not help themselves.

It’s stopped.
Throw out the rags, forget the fear,
breathe deeply of oxygen and beauty,
I’m still here.
