a river’s edge
pier’s edge
cliff’s edge
again and again
looking over
and over each and every
liminal line
why ?

Contemplating…
a poor choice?
bad timing?
karma?

In the morning…
out of coffee beans
in the car
out the window
a meditation on frost
I can’t say frost without thinking of Frost
then my eyes tear up

Sometimes I forget…
which side of the water’s surface I’m on
as I lose my self within
the dazzle of looking
I’ll bet the fish forget too.

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

Friday’s flower: The card read, “With Apologies, – “
They arrived weeks ago.
The day after.
The card read, With Apologies, —
Time healed the slight bruises;
even as it dried the lovely,
apologetic roses.
Though no one knows why
he lashed out.

At the edge
At the edge where
one can fall off
or climb over
where liquid becomes
solid or gas
where everything changes
where transformation occurs

Peer deeply
“A painter can outsee the layman. The camera can outsee the photographer.” – Wilson Hicks
Peer deeply here… now… thoughtlessly…
to reveal everything…
no.
deeper still.
