Blessed Solstice


In The Stillness

On this Solstice Eve, darkness drips through the bare branches of ancient trees. The moon hangs low, a thin crescent, barely there.

The last thoughts of the departed are etched on stone tomes; loving epitaphs, names, dates.

Can you hear them? The souls who linger here whisper in the stillness, “Remember me.”

(I took the photo above during a Haunted Savannah tour a few summers ago. The air was electric and thick with souls longing for life.)


Slow Burn

it’s like a slow burn
the seething of consciousness
rousing the drowsy

never satisfied

tyranny

it’s a masquerade
their vile deluge of pretense,
their temerity
is but a drizzling ruse
a tempest, shrouded in guile

raining down on us,
deliquescent victims, we
are dying of thirst
