Reblogged from DM du Jour:

A praying mantis offers up its last flutter, seizes, falls.
Cracking on a brick step,
its abdomen releases one fat maggot
which saunters forth the first of nine.
Empty casket, open womb.

The corpse of a little boy wastes in the parlor,
his hair oiled and combed too neat,
eyes stiff open.
Mosquitoes refuse him but flies don’t.

Campfire bacchanalia.

Hey

Reblogged from Coryander....band:

This was me fooling around with learning the mountain dulcimer a la Joni Mitchell. Now I might actually have to learn to play that too! 

Hey

Hey. Over there with the blue suit on

If you listen you’ll hear my song for you.

Hey, will my heart ever be the same?

Though I don’t even know your name, it’s true.

Too Early For Blueberries

by PD Lyons

Maybe she dyed her hair

Wore black sweats, grey skirts

Walked a black Boston dog

Down the paths of

Maybe you just missed her

Lacy fern still turtles

Sunning

Trees fallen

Dwindling open water

Reblogged from scars and all yoga:

Pardon my absence. I’ve been using springtime as an opportunity to sprout; to push through a thick layer of earth and reach toward the sky in hopes that I will develop flowers. It’s been lovely, really. And more challenging than I ever imagined.

 That’s germinating.

My work and my personal life have been stretching me in ways I never thought possible.

we were doing something with horses

not riding or roping

just putting our hands on them

feeling the sunlight through them
