Historical horror & remade myth.
The woods remember what God forgets.
The sermon never ends.

Just finished The Buffalo Hunter Hunter by @sgj.bsky.social and I am blown away. It's so difficult to find an original story like that, and the audiobook was such an immersive experience, I found myself making up chores and errands so I could get away and keep listening. Absolutely amazing book.

Always see what's around the bend.
Always press on until the end.
Then explore beyond, if you can.

Cleaned up the #poem I wrote yesterday. Here's the edited version of "Less Vivid."

#EastCoastKin #Poetry #ArtShow #WritingCommunity #creativewriting #booksky #poetrysky
Less Vivid Time’s an eraser and life is just paper. Slowly, it scratches you away, leaving pink shavings where your vivid details used to be. I wish that I recorded your shrinking voice. Your noises are fading. Your laughter has faded. Your stories are fading from me. You are barely a visitor in my dreams. I wonder where you are, and why you chose to go. And where can we meet when I leave? Now most of your picture is gone, and I can’t always remember to miss you. But sometimes I do, and it hurts so bad to forget you.

It's #scape day! Here is a #landscape #poem about Spring springing (although my yard is covered in snow right now 🤮) This is "Forsythias"

#EastCoastKin #poetry #writingcommunity #creativewriting #booksky #poetrysky #newengland #spring
Forsythias Alone in the woods, as many good days begin, I greet the newborn Spring. I’m flanked by tonal pinks with white flowers overhead and underfoot, bloomed anew. The buttery sunrise softens upward, melting through the golden forsythias— baking a salubrious feast for me as I pause in this fresh, forest kitchen. Descending warmth rolls down my tired bones, and I drift into youthful reverie— a boy standing before Mother’s oven, dreaming of morning blueberry muffins. Myriad miles from her and years from then, I am at peace and at home in these hills. Life’s brown to green, to gold, to brown again sows seasonal sentimentality. I tarry in the present’s joie de vivre and linger longer in the petaled trees.
