Thank you 🤍

I plead for ease, but none comes.

This one is a senryu. I write all kinds of poems. Lately I’ve been into senryu, haiku, and tanka.

Where am I this time?
Trapped inside another life
Insignificant

Currently sick. So this felt appropriate.

sickly lethargy
a monochrome cell

fever brings rainbow dreams
technicolor escape

budding flowers softly drift
across her field of vision

royal purple coup—
first blossoms topple the frost
making way for Spring

She stacked her doubts
like bricks
one by one
through the years
mortaring each
with quiet fear.
A great wall formed—
internalized limitations
towering over her
guarding her from risk
but sealing out reward.

dirt on my fingers
I bury the remains of
the buzz that you killed

A translation of the hieroglyphs carved beside a small stone orb sitting in the middle of the deepest room inside the Egyptian pyramid.

If you turn it clockwise,
The room will start to bend—
A door of black will open
And pull you to your end

Photo of a Lunar Eclipse during Totality

Not my best work but I'll take it! I'm tired! #LunarEclipse #Totality #MoonPhotography #MoonPhotos #MoonShots #Photography #SantaBarbara #BloodMoon

Turbinellus floccosus, aka wooly chanterelle. It’s not a true chanterelle though. Eating it can make you sick.

Making and eating these almond croissant cookies with frangipane filling. So good.

chasing my thoughts
endlessly in circles
a pointless quest

Under threat of death
We would not condone their reign.
Our hijabs undone—
From the verge of darkest night
We roar, claiming back the sun.

Calm waters.
Closed sails.
Empty posts drift by—
virtual ghost ships.

spiraling, veering recklessly

Bird on a curb—
fidgety humans
flitting about,
yet it stays
calm, still—
trusting more

This might be gross to some people, but it brought me such joy to jiggle my homemade bone broth today. It doesn’t always turn so jello-like when I make it, but it did this time. That’s the good stuff ✨
