Raccoon winter
Will offer fins
Claw-curled questions,
Clear mansions notched
With possible calling-cards, your pools, they’re watched.
Next’s muddy-pawed spring,
Spawn-eyes (ringing
Bells, singing of
Dead grandmothers’
Fears) peep up from bottommirk, or squinch (whist!) closed.
Birch-sap slaps masked
Mischief, risk your
Fur, whisk fish out
From freshets, Plash!
(His footing fails him) Did those sick bastards laugh?

For Nice.
A strong Oak stands alone amid the hedgerow. Watching over this season's final yield of wheat. The last stage of the crop rotation. No more than a hardy grass, yet sufficient sustenance no less, for those that tend to the field. I note a ring of scarlet poppies circling the wheat. A blood-stain border, soaking the outer edges of the field. Speckled also, in amongst the crop, in that same sporadic pattern seen in blood splatter. A metaphor for the sacrifices made in ensuring that the village stays fed perhaps? Or perhaps, an aesthetic. Planted by the farm hand with little to no particular reasoning, other than just, well, for nice. The dog grows impatient, pulling at his lead as though to say that sometimes things just are, that I ought not to ponder on them for too long, lest I rob them of their inherent beauty. I scratch him behind the ears in agreeance. "good boy, lets get you home".
Literature
Paper Plane
I write my dreams on the wings of a paper plane And send it gliding from my window. Maybe someone will know To throw it again and continue this chain. I write my dreams on the wings of a paper plane. It's still flying, I saw it yesterday, It's now so far away And I don't know if my dreams are still the same. I write my dreams on the wings of a paper plane, And send it gliding from my window. The last one got destroyed by rain, But it's a sunny day tomorrow.
Literature
reflective
One minute you will stand watching prior moments drift past your fingertips on kite strings. You will think, I could not have known such things would fly away. You will think, I was happier tied to such fragments of time. You will think, My heart sang for lack of knowledge. My heart leapt for ignorance. Witness now--the mouth of a tunnel, think then on the other end. Close your eyes and fall backward, into the shoes of former selves, envying their blindness to this present. Linger. Then lean back into reality-- your future shouldn't need to wander forward alone.
