but acknowledgement
rouses our spirits,
yet we save for eulogies,
lauds the dead will never hear

eyes deep as pools
watching me
moist breath on my face

I almost wrote about the rain…again. Yes, it’s still raining. But Merlin wasn’t having it. Today, as in most days, it is all about him. But I must say, he’s a lovely diversion.
A bit belated…but here it is.
there is no sanctuary
here for the meek,
the pure of heart
wanderers who need
rest…please don’t
come here, we can’t
save you

never ending rain
ground swampy, air sticky wet
magnolia in bloom
