now fully clothed
offered the first scent of lilacs today
spring has come to stay.

long summer days with

nesting
in the bare branches
of the berry tree –
the full moon

an exquisite fumble
for all to witness
crazy is wide awake
no longer lurks deep within
the door of nutsville flung wide open
as he melts all the way down
like a molten candle
never to regain its shape –
that thread that he hung by
now in free fall

For Flower of the Day over at Cees
I did not start out thinking I’d like, too, to plant the sweet alyssum that smells like honey and peace.
But now, as we gather to honor and remember I can see how it would have added to the heady, live perfume of the garden and to the much appreciated diversion.
It was all still so raw, still so new. The whips of conversations –
“…What the hell was he doing on a motorcycle at his age?…” “…He was living his life…”. “…I still can’t believe he’s gone…”, “…you know how he is, was…”
blending with talks about the scents that filled our senses as we fiddled with the blooms. Taking turns with the butterflies, and bees.
This felt surreal.
As it turned out, this gathering in this place of sweet diversions did bring with it a certain peace. For this, I was grateful.

under blue gray skies
as twilight takes its leave
and day tumbles into night
a crow flies across a sliver of a moon –
I am lost in thoughts of you…
and our moon gazing nights
