still caught in your web

the distant hills soft
softer as on normal days
the new leaves long turned dark green
the meadow (where we lay)
gained purple and yellow
as being touched
as if it noticed the change
just in time a moving out of the way
instantly
the crashing thunder
as you fell from the sky
a down pour
how could i have known?
as the sun kept shining
dark grey thoughts opposing
the hammering continues
love songs keep playing
latadadadi
we pick the petals from a daisy just to see

a summer as no other

And this summer began almost in April.
And it is not just the swimming.
Outside all day
Walking leisurely half naked in the heat.
Summer smells
No mosquitoes to speak of
just butterflies and bees and yes some pesky houseflies.
We are outside till late at night..
And the sun always out and as usual always up.
Blue skies and just a little breeze for perfection
The leaves i forgot when they appeared,
but full green was reached in just a few days.
Plants are growing inches per day.
flowers blooming everywhere.
And it is not even June!
Winter is this year truly far away.

hey babe

you gotta live it babe

love it

high frequency sensations

red hot feelings in the low light night

spiders reflecting an orange glow

dark blue ripples

silver strands

the sand is hot

the way it should be 

always

white granite polished like the old sink

you are so beautiful

like the zen beaches of black rocks in the sand

like the deep moss forest where the spiders live

the sink is in the old french house

where we were supposed to live

you the mountain

i the lake

i caress your feet

but you stand above me

towering

out of reach

if it wasn't for the elegant lupine

reaching over, laying low

always, always the sand saves me

mountains, falling rock

rolling boulders

shards

gravel

all in perfect order down to the finest grain

i don't want to know now, that one day it will be clay 

clay again

remember i was born from the clay

and you?

where do i look for you when it is our time again

still i vibrate

still caught in your web

the grotto

of course i am the water

how did i miss

that i flow gently over the seabed

dotted with tiny flowers pink and purple

how far away i hear a bird?

through the sound of the sea

swimming in me

are creatures i have never seen

just felt when passing through

when i look up

bluegreen algae my lashes

i see you on the distant shore

mirroring your face

unaware that it is me

nothing do we know

me the sea

you

it's if i was a young girl that lives in the forest

Mourning Cloaks

The Naked Eye

Like all living creatures, I had a mother and father; but I never knew them. I know that they met each other last summer; for several days they flew side by side and together sipped from the same flowers. Then for several hours they united. During this union my father pressed the tip of his belly against my mother; it is in this way he was able to slip tiny grains into her body, grains so small no person could see them with his naked eye.

—Animals and Their Families: The Butterfly

In a book by Martha Baillie
I wish i would have written it....
on that day

when i wrote that slightly perverted poem
Martha describes it more with the softness i felt when laying beside them, witnessing such wonder, to me she also captures the slight feeling of being lost... which i felt on that day, when i was aching for simple loving.

covered up in purple

His gaze straight ahead.

Batholith tattoos.

Triceps.

The green speculum showing.

A small crevice.

Suddenly the front wheels of the jeep sink in.

Descending.

 After bouncing through the desert,

 the ground littered with dense tufts of grass,

first looking out over the land from a high ridge. 

Now

up to the axles in mud.

In that instant he remembered;

the slivers being pulled out of festering skin.

A baby? 

A baby? they ask

in surprise.

 Relief

The pendulum slowly swinging.

A real life, soft, pink, gurgling, baby in a cradle!?

The laughter, the pure joy.

Everything coming together.

 An abbreviation of events.

 Infinite softness experienced.
