Friday Harbor, San Juan Island, Washington State
living with elementals under the Puget dome,
tresses pouring down like the waters of Ganga

onward through the blog

onward through the blog
'til the screen fades

gambler’s date

drizzling a little in Needleswood
light blue greenly lit gray where the bettor stood
I had half a mind so never spoke
yet when it came to save myself
toyed unwisely for a joke

it must had to do with just such rot
night brain finally frightened chance so the leaf caught
upon a fir branch where it made a home
the season sent a harbinger
kindly beaming from a tomb

but all the good in the world fell flat
unwhole and hollow and meshing nothing
but the head and cap
this one uses language for a gap
and stoves in against the faultline
'til time emptied the hat
