poem spring ‘24
on the kitchen counter
a blue plastic water bottle
nudged by a tangerine
difficult to fight against it all
what with a dan de lion
leafing green blossoming yellow
downstairs in a crack in the concrete

Another way in might be this dream?
A group of friends wanted to kill a moth.
What was the point? No matter.
They asked me to kill it.
I shied away from the furry
body, the fluttering wings
touching my face. No,
I awoke.
A warm summer day a few years back the Sant Nicolau River in Auguëstortes National Park - ready to cool off?
Cumulus
Or stratocumulus I can’t …
The way they seem just
To hang there unmoving
White and gray in a bright blue sky
Then the distant mountains bluish
The fields a shift of green then
Autumnal yellows toned oranges
Move your gaze back up
This photo is from a morning trip we took to Buncrana, Ireland on August 9 2019. Some of the landscape we saw on our walk along the river path. Buncrana is in Donegal, on the Inishowen peninsula. The high temperatures in and around Barcelona today make me yearn not only for the the views but also, obviously, for cooler weather.
The water is Lough Swilly, the town 23 kilometers northwest of Derry, 43 kilometers north of Letterkenny. Hopefully we'll get back there again soon. And with temperaztures down worldwide.
