Smallstone #29

pressing the shutter an image appears,
edits take place
the visual pours into mind
through the heart and out the mouth;
Never Could I Have Imagined What You've Given Me.

Smallstone #28 rain taps the window

rain taps window by desk,
tears on cheeks awaken sound sleep.

Smallstone #27 by hand...

by hand:
blend brown and white sugars,
whisk 2 adobe shelled eggs,
turn in creamy peanut butter creating a honey liquid.
fold in dry ingredients;
teaspoon dropped/cross-hatched.
14 minutes of waiting and wafting;
1 minute to eat with ice cold milk.

Smallstone #26

it began with a dollop of water to the head from a scotch pine;
the earth drank its due
showing her satiation through
every leaf and branch and stone and the air.

Smallstone #25

silence;
response to what is.

Smallstone #24 mind, body and spirit

mind, body and spirit brought back to life with
eucaplytus moving through nasal passages while
spearmint finds its way to the neuropathways.

#23 soft sienna clayed earth

soft sienna clayed earth yields to footsteps as temperatures rise;
she drinks in melting snow.
