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.

Smallstone #22 bright shining smile

bright shining smile
soprano/alto voice
self-awareness beyond your years
articulation/distortion/fast/furious fusion
pouring out your Piscean fingers through your 7-string
into the gloaming;
and that will be that.

Smallstone #21 embracing this moment

embracing this moment;
heart pounding/mind racing/deep breath;
one one thousand, two one thousand,
coming and going,
still here.

Smallstone #20 ginger-ale...

gingerale bubbling down the back of the throat
followed by a shiver of cold that begins at the top of the shoulders,
down the inside of the arms and voila!
goosebumps!
