red: dogwood twigs gray: clouded day clear: each drop of winter rains photograph
I heard a winter tree in song
Its leaves were birds, a hundred strong;
When all at once it ceased to sing,
For every leaf had taken wing.

red-leafed vines reach through morning fog to silvered water photograph
suspended
In vapor was the oceanโs presence, ghost
Of deep water and the bite of salt.
All morning bathed in a dovelike brooding.
The fog satisfied itself
watering the doors
Of snails, the leeward mold
and held still.

blue storm-wave rising photograph
To live at all is miracle enough.
The doom of nations is another thing.
Here in my hammering blood-pulse is my proof.
Nor greed nor fear can tear our faith apart
When every heart-beat hammers out the proof
That life itself is miracle enough.

โScience describes accurately from outside, poetry describes accurately from inside. Science explicates, poetry implicates. Both celebrate what they describe.โ

stream running white-watet through forest over mossed rocks under fallen trees photograph
what mattered was the woodness
of wood
the stoneness of stone
roots locked onto rock,
the glimpse of cold, dark, giving water
the path running forward,
the way between the trees
the ache in my bones,
for all thatโs been lost & sometimes why

red dogwood green birch October photograph
O hushed October morning mild,
Thy leaves have ripened to the fall;
Tomorrowโs wind, if it be wild,
Should waste them all.
The crows above the forest call;
Tomorrow they may form and go.
O hushed October morning mild,
Begin the hours of this day slow.

I'm just waiting to see if it's going to be the bat, a shiv in the back, or an affair right under his nose.
We all know it's going to be something.
Badly written.
Nina should've blurted "I lied & didn't ask my daughter! She kept quiet to protect me! She's innocent, it's NOT HER FAULT!! Willow, they have me on tape, I had to tell the truth or it would be so much worse for you! I LOVE YOU!!"
Then Willow could freak out with some justification.

Hey could we manifest Portia setting up a time bomb in Drewpy's spine or something during the surgery?
Like maybe sneaking in a stent that will fail or some stitches that will dissolve after awhile?
Turns out he set up his own shooting/fake murder attempt, & then suddenly he drops dead after all?
Stone Cold melted? all over Mossy lol
He couldn't hold his water even for a minute.
