Poems & Other Lies
Good Morning
7/4/25 6:00 59f (15c) Dry, no wind. The thin, grey overcast has a rip over the east ridge and is unraveling before the sun. The chicken door is open and the rooster is outside too early. I wonder if it closed last night. The cherry cannon's booming,...

Good Morning

Good Morning
6/25/25 7:30 66f (18.8c) Sunny with the occasional puff of breeze . The sky is blue behind a fabric of torn, white tufts. A raucous gang of Jay's swoop and dive, shouting obscenities. In the background the pervasive whine of industrial ...
Good Morning
6/24/25 6:30 54f (12.2c) A windless morning with clear sky. The dog is barking. The tipi is up, drying out after our solstice campout in the Oregon desert. Looking forward to my darling wife getting home...
