Between storm clouds
A few laps around
The sun
Month: May 2022
Redneck Fast Pack

Drinking coffee from a
baby food jar which held
washing detergent, which
was poured into a clear
bag, which held clothes pins, which
now lie scattered at the
bottom of my camp bin.
This is the kind of
innovation it takes to
camp luxuriously.
This old mokka pot is
out of brewing practice
and I didn’t bring cream.
I lift the steaming jar
up to my nervous lips
anticipating the
black and burning liquid.
This camping chair, melting
snow dripping from the roof
The wind blows through the pines.
And behold, it tastes good.

End of May
There’s still time
To blossom
2022/05/29
Where the snow once lay
Snow-white blossoms now appear
The rain on my face
2022/05/28
The garden air
Filled and filling
Bright tulips
Birds of Autumnwood
The spring procession of feathered friends in our very own backyard.

The hills
Alive with the sound
Of breathing
2022/05/25
Still surface
Of the flowing water
Its healing way
2022/05/24
Green grass
Even the questions
Are enough
2022/05/23
Telling stories
Of blue sky rain
Over coffee
