a white lace day

It all looked so exquisite
looking from the inside out
the raven saw it too
on that day of white lace
when the sky was blue
so he went in
swooping down lower
and i came out
looking up for what was left
we were both too late
my bridal gown was ripped
the gray jays had pecked at it
it's a paper wasp's nest
only made to last so long

(you can see the nest in the left high tree on the top)

You did hold me

you did hold me
when i showed you part of me
my hands turning into wings
a teardrop split in two
letting you

the real me so much more macabre
if you only knew
the full truth;
bodies severed in two
heads crushed
blood everywhere

still you held me
still if that was only it

what if you ever hold me
who would i be?
us?
or still me?

Macabre

What kind of word is that anyway?
-macabre-
argillaceous
ferrugineous
Is it because i am pulled out of the clay?
Yes i know, there is iron in my bones.
macabre
accelerado, run faster!
a 'revelation terrible'
macabre, macabre!
so very sad
dolore
apparently it is just a dance
or a man
just a man, like all the others

ISON

 Did i just see ISON
chunks of lit up ice from comet Ison? November 23,2013 9.30 am yukon time

Saline incrustations

between Takhini and Canyon

ice on the 911-pond

this pond is slightly salty.

what causes the colors?

As i was reading a geological survey book of 1957, because i am trying to research geological activity in the Sifton Range in them  early days. I did come upon something else i once researched without any luck.

As with the Sifton Range, not everything is on google in this day and age, and not everything is known by geologists alive today.... doh.

I am just going to copy here what i found, because when i need this information and will want to do something with it, ( mainly i want to know if the salt is fit for human consumption),

I just have to google it!

1916

"It proved on examination to be composed for the most part of a mixture of hydrated sulphates of sodium and calcium, and a small quantity of magnesium sulphate, with some insoluble argillaceous and organic matters. It is slightly ferruginous, and contains also a very small quantity of Phosphates and chlorides."

and the article goes on, it was tested for potash, but only had slight amounts of it, 0.2 or 0.3 percent K2O

 I read that calfs might nurse up to 9 months.

I do not want to get into the fact that it did disturb me. It seems corny to even state why it would disturb me.

Look at the female's face, click on the image and zoom it in. Totally beautiful and looking at us.

a little bird came to me

you're a regular wreck with a crick in your neck

and no wonder you snore for your head's on the floor

and you've needles and pins from your sole to your shins

and your flesh is a-creep for your left leg's asleep

and you've cramp in your toes and a fly on your nose

you've got fluff in your lung and a feverish tongue

and a thirst that's intense and a general sense that you haven't been

sleeping in clover....

I did overcome again, i still do feel like a wreck, but reading this song this morning totally lifted my spirits again.

I read it in a book; 'the ocean at the end of the lane' by Neil Gaiman.

I have the great fortune of having an employer who buys books every week, and! she lets me read them. They are all very new books, like written in  2012 and she and i seem to have very similar taste. Angela ( a friend here) also send me an amazing book in the same line of what i like: 'Wild' by Cheryl Strayed. I will probably let my employer read it, to give her back something for her wonderful generosity.

Life is good ;)
