From California Bay Area: If anyone tells you climate change isn’t real smack the s**t out of them. This is heartbreaking and real. I can’t even go outside my house tonight because the air quality is worse then Beijing. All of the people who have lost their homes and members of their family to these wildfires the past couple of years. Not to mention the firefighters and enormous amounts of volunteers who have helped. Also the beautiful wildlife…
almost winter
the burning skies…
what to do
in these times
of lost hope

spring against my back
the vibrations
of a hummingbird
scrolling my page
a little black bug
observes my words
spring afternoon
a greeting
from the yard cat
she says goodbye-
rose petals
in the dirt
house finch
the wind chimes
through the garden
too much wine-
dizzy from all the birdsong
this summer morning
bickering in flight..
a blur of emerald and ruby
around the feeder
his arms around me
the mountain ridges-
a light pink sunset
waning moon
the silence
of a sleepless night
never wanting
to change itself
desert rose
separate rooms-
a distance greater
then the moon
these days
the only happiness
at my bird feeder
shards of glass
how quickly I pull away
from his touch
my tears…
rose petals
against a pond
garden buddha
in its palms
fallen petals
spring morning my thoughts drifting bumblebee
worn out
faded patches
of sky
I sit hidden beneath
a blooming tree
tiny fountain
the stillness
of a fern
walking outside
a melody of wind chime
over and over
a deep longing to love
myself a little more

wandering
through the afternoon
a simple dream
of fallen leaves
against the autumn sky
