welcome to ur happy place: a refuge for body, mind and soul for 8/3! aaahhh, the month of August, my bday and I find a bitterweet mood descend. the month to wrap up de-cluttering, to savor the last summer sunrises, watch the dragonflies zoom around the garden, to buy back-to -school supplies.. to breathe and enjoy.
with that in mind here is the poem of the week:
This Island: This Season
the corn stalks are broken
potatoes are cached in dark corners
onions and garlic braided
and hung. gold peaches
in glass and plums
rich ruby. black pulp of berries
thickens in jars. split cedar
is stacked by the door
and the lamps filled
anchored all night in the eyes
of this wind, the house
billows toward the stars.

until next time...xx
