Piled at the gate
Snowdrift of ambivalence
Shut in from the out

time to stay awake
take it one week at a time
forget sleep or food
getting lost
in a labyrinth of thoughts

snowy morning
all alone I chew
dried salmon
– Matsuo Bashō
Evening Deepens
It is late, and I
am no longer young. The night
casts a deep shadow.

Growing pains of grass
And the other secret sounds.
Things you hear at night.

Reshared. I love the sounds of night when you’re doing very long exposures in the darkness.
Futile
A light burns nearby,
fighting darkness in this room,
but not within me.

we ran out of luck
ran out of gas in the truck
ran into the muck
Winter’s Heart
Bare trees scratch cold skies,
as bony hands, from lonely
graves, tearing at hope.

Dim twinkle harvests
Feasts of crumbs in a famine.
Every little light.
Dark Night

Reshared. When I’m in the city I miss the dark night skies. I love the city lights but there are so few stars.
Talking about
coming frost.
Amaretto.
