New Year’s Day

Written on by

New Year’s Day Black Carrion birds encircle the sky, in search for the dying or dead. A lone little squirrel scampers right by – A whole ‘nother world lies ahead. Last year’s leaves still cling to the vine, they rustle and rattle in wind. An old man clings to the end of a line, the […] Continue reading →

The Long Island Sound The high school reunion, which I won’t attend, Will be held in Las Vegas, Nevada. I’ll go to Long Island, out near the end, Where they still say in that fun way “What’s da matta?’’ It’s odd what we say what we’re really not thinking: Magician’s with rabbits and top hats. When […] Continue reading →

it’s raining again time marches on ~ remembering rain along with a song ~ they sound both the same though both are long gone ~ combing through content contained in a song with the rain with a name but the moment is gone ~ moment by moment the moment hangs on seemingly real ‘til time […] Continue reading →
