you can tell

the feral

cats

 

their noses

are all

torn

 

from the

battle.

 

just like us.

small tangible pleasures – May 22

Posted on May 23, 2015 by landl30

5.22.2015

slice eggplant and quarter

ditto sweet onion,

then bask in the aromas

 

minute decisions

 

garlic, shitake mushroom,

salt, pepper,

olive oil

 

whatever else feels like

it might work in

nicely

 

small tangible pleasures

on the way.

mauka – May 21

Posted on May 22, 2015 by landl30

virgin forests look

more primitive

than imagined

 

underbrush, decaying

old lives, vibrant new

answering only

 

to the push of life

within them, feral

anything.

 

the beast looks

steadily into our

eyes

 

up here everything

is king of its own

domain.

VOG – May 20

Posted on May 21, 2015 by landl30

5.20.2105

I’ve been up

for two hours

sitting in my pajamas

with a bowl of cheerios

in my hand

and a blank stare.

 

there must be

something

in the air.

pots of gold – May 19

Posted on May 21, 2015 by landl30

5.19.2015

fine mist sprays

a turn of head and

the arc of sky opens

rainbow

 

above the trees

down into laval scrub

it sings of pots of

gold.

serenity.

 

mahalo, breath of life.

lanai cats – May 16

Posted on May 18, 2015 by landl30

5.16.2015

I move slowly

so as to not scare

a move.

 

last week they

brawled, yowled

careened

in a death match

 

today with soft breezes

and bird songs above

they loll

within feet of

each other

 

one a hind leg

lifted overhead

for carefree cleaning

the other rolling

onto his back in the sun

legs akimbo.

 

clearly settlement

has been reached.

driving in the car – May 14

Posted on May 17, 2015 by landl30

5.14.2015

driving in the car

climate slip by,

rain forest, desert,

ranchland, town

 

the island’s variety

moves within

moments

 

while our bodies

float between

eras.

the explorer: short form – May 15

Posted on May 16, 2015 by landl30

5.14.2015

the explorer is

the person who

knows when

it is time

to come back out

of the cave.

 

the other guy

is called

a dead guy.
