2008-10-16T14:19:46Z

Sky A few distant planes crossing the orange sunset, weaving down to the airport miles away. Trees lined up like the supporting cast for the sky, whispering lines among their leaves about the next scene to come. And finally, the sky, str...

Anxietus Aves The sleepless bird of anxiety has been roosting in my chest for days, and at night I can't help but look up among the branches of my rib cage and admire his concentration and energy on the task at hand - the looped singing...

A Forest The big ones are knotted old men and women, watching the younger ones grow and tool in the air, so eager to be tall, denying patience right down to their roots, only the education of the seasons brings any calm to their lives - ...

Gatherene Our feet in the same flowerpot, now, sample the air with your tongue gently one hummingbird thinks your ear is a flower he's flown off to tell the others where you are the thoughts in your head sweet orange.

The Inquirer Before dawn, one lonely car passing each house slowly - the morning paper left behind, squeaking with news.

One Moment One moment blue, the next, the sunset burning red - as tho' somewhere in the west roses have caught fire.

Brave to a Depth To a submarine diving under a whisker of water, the men peering through glass screens and dials all holding their breath and pretending they're fish, not mistaking undersea mountains for the greasy backs of whales, not f...

The Guest It's bright noon, but one small cricket still sings in the daylight - I found him asleep beside the marigold pot, dreaming of night.

2008-10-11T18:26:46Z

The Summer Plants All the summer plants have gone brittle and dry in their pots. In the early sun they shake with wanting to remember what it felt like to have flowers, some ghost-feeling at the end of their now dead stems, the leaves alm...

... your hobby, not mine...

2008-10-11T13:56:18Z

Your Hobby, Not Mine To me this does not entertain, I can't even fold a paper plane, but I sit beside while your hands work to produce from flatness a pefect stork; then you hand a sheet to me, explaining I can learn, it's so easy, and y...

2008-10-10T17:37:37Z

White Linen The high white moon is laying down its linen across the land, the fold of a house or hill here and there mussing up the perfection of light lying back to look up after the long trip just made.

2008-10-10T13:57:14Z

First Eclipse You will fear it's witchcraft once its begun, it will be easy to imagine the Moon ate the Sun, but it is all a matter of astronomical position, that can be calculated with a total precision; still to see the Moon take its f...

2008-10-10T13:27:03Z

A Nap Lesson My white dog falls like a scoop of vanilla ice cream onto the bed's dark blanket and begins to melt and stretch into the proper shape for a nap. Her effort is deliberate, hindlegs puffed out like turkey drumsticks, soft pink b...

The Familiar Taking Flight That is not a hawk you're hearing outside today, that is me, screaming for the words to come, to slip out of their dirt burrows and go digging in your garden where I can get at them. I'm so full of memories I ...

2008-10-09T13:31:35Z

Swaying on a Branch The leaves sighed and abandoned the tree for the hard ground below, now only the humming bird feeder is left, glowing red and shadeless in the October sun like some bizarre ruby flower defying decay, swaying on a bran...

Your Country Is Very Beautiful Here In New Jersey...

2008-09-22T08:24:00Z

Greetings from the Garden State. I just flew into Newark, NJ late this afternoon and had just enough time to drive to my hotel in Piscataway, check in and grab a few of my first caches in this neck of the world. My first choice was a nice small...

Walking in the Woods of New Jersey

After spending a day in our Piscataway office I could not wait to go out and doing some caching. The only obstacle was the impending rain that decided to show up the same time I started out. But hey I was only going to be in New Jersey another da...
