Day 2109, from my window 7.

Day's pictures

Another year is almost over, and the funny thing is, you don’t have to do anything for it; it’s a straight line no matter what happened on the sides of that road.

Day 1804, straight down.

Daily picture, Poetry

I am easy

with my leftover thoughts

~

they go

straight down the drain

~

some make compost out of it

they say it is good fertilizer

~

I think it leaves

a bad aftertaste

when you eat the new harvest

From the clothespins

that are left

to dry

I hope the blood stains

came out

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1297.jpg

Its the dirt road

at my house

in the morning

that I drive

on

where they stare

at me

each day

~

if I stop

to look closer

they run

cowardly

~

like sheep
