Once upon a time…

It blew in the summer breeze
sucked up the sun’s rays
transformed carbon dioxide into oxygen
evaporated water drawn through tendrils rooted deep in the earth

Then it separated from its earth bound branch
travelled, alone, through space, on the winds
floated downstream
Now… momentarily still… full of Chlorophil…
on its way… to becoming earth itself

Fire and Ice
BY ROBERT FROST

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

Writers and windows at the intersection of back then and here now

Ananda Walker, David White and I met for a second time to see, hear, and creatively encounter one another. We discussed histories, publishing, creativity, book and film recommendations.
