She Sleeps

8:20 a.m. Somebody’s still in her jammies.

My Morning Glories, from my mailbox planter. (Planted them only a few short weeks ago and they’re hella thriving.)

Matriarch. Doey-Mama.

She suffers no fools.

Dog Days

Yeah, I really am out here mowing one of my 3 separate yards on my broke-ass foot using my 1930’s era push mower. While fasting.

For reference:

It had to be done today because I already know what I’ma be feelin’ like tomorrow.

SHE BREATHES

Shot in Black & White: Editing: Gimp/ Mixed Media- Multiple Layers & Textures: Colours/Lighting/Gamma/Highlights/Shadows, etc. manually mastered. iPhone 15 PLUS.

*************************************

Heavy is the hand

That pressed her form against herself

Fat teeth

Glisteneed in the moonlight

They waited there

Net spread, hands cupped around their ears

Surrounding her frail departure

She draws the last breath

Undeniable beauty

The offering

Fragrant still

Even in Death

One by one

They pluck a leaf

To prove that she had faded

Delighting in their spoils

They locked hands

And marched into the bloody night

A nightingale

Comes a singing

She lights upon the still warm leaves

And as she lets out her last last hushed coo

One last sound shatters the night

She breathes


I N S P I R E D

Wasp: Memorialized. Found yesterday, stuck to the bottom of a tea cup, bound by honey. I used a water-soaked Q-Tip and washed its body down and tried to rehydrate and revive it, to no avail, poor lad. Alas, he’ll live on visually.
Beautiful dead leaves found on the ground this morning. Death can be so beautiful.
For Sandy, to inspire; Shot and edited this morning, while sitting in my front yard. What the human eye does not see nor realize, is that every colour of the rainbow perpetually surrounds the sun. Isn’t that cool? I learned that just this morning myself after seeing this image. God- the Ultimate Teacher.
