my thoughts and prayers
from more broken dreams and hollow words, marching one, two, three with a bravery born from of a grievous cupidity colonial fears the hands of a state creates a river of tears beyond their years and through it all, some learned nothing at all before the fall we knew it all, they say, like water flows blind and washes the slate and maybe one day … Continue reading my thoughts and prayers
i found today
these bits and pieces from some other place of here and there we often leave no trace for our delusions, the journey moved us forward. along the banks of it we haunt as knitted caps and the other parts go into the trees, of leaves, the scent of thee breath in the decay, the days, we betray of barking dogs and the hawks overhead hunting … Continue reading i found today
And A Lock Of Gray Was The Key
Ok, so I admit, the only reason I stopped was cause some guy asked me why, and to be honest I really didn’t have an answer. When I started, years ago in my 20’s it was because I wanted my hair to be red, or Auburn, or something more romantic than my bog-standard brown. Over the years, box after box, I went from one red … Continue reading And A Lock Of Gray Was The Key
Of Miracles And Connections On A Rainy Day
Raining in this misty kinda way yesterday, and had to go downtown to pick up a new router from my ISP, hence the photographs I posted yesterday. You know, one stone two birds or whatever that phrase is. The streets were almost deserted, which made my photographic mission a bit more difficult, hard to take portraits, you know, with no subjects, but I prevailed. Ran … Continue reading Of Miracles And Connections On A Rainy Day

Learning How To Fail In A Canadian Arena
When I was growing up I spent a lot of time in arena’s, but with a baton in my hand and the only high-sticking penalties were when my sister bonked me over the head with the said baton and was sent to her room for an hour. So across Canada, I imagine there are many gathered around a rink watching someone play hockey. In my … Continue reading Learning How To Fail In A Canadian Arena

the dark moon years
the cycles out of turn and burns away passions turn to erudite diversions eyes alight in joy of contemplation as gray temples transform into a crown now that half a century has passed me by and by, i still cry sometimes, and though the raging hormones with their dip and dive i am alive and thrive in solitude for that sweet knight i yearned for at … Continue reading the dark moon years

nestled underneath a blanket of snow are the seeds of you, the blossoms of you and when thou awakes from your long repose shall i love and adore you even more than i did the year before, for i know like the eyes of a starving bee i am at the longing for the greening of you that sweet scent of you in the air … Continue reading for the scent of you

Catching Moments
The grocery store is actually just a hop skip and a jump from where I live, with the hopping and skipping and jumping over snowbanks, and then carefully making ones way across the icy ground, left over from the freezing rain we had the day before, adding a layer of crunchy frosting to everything. Say I forget ginger like I did the other night, a … Continue reading Catching Moments
