Somebody needs to make coffee soon or I might evaporate.

Family, community, peace

Magic mountain stream

A three year old’s eyes gleam

Horse and moose will meet

A wholly unknown feat

Grandson watches Grampy

Softwoods in the morning

Hardwoods at night

Starry skies over campfire light

A day of fresh air give you might

Red lasers poke thru the smoke

So up comes the camp joke

So I signal my NSA bloke

the light stretched and tangy, up on its horse

and riding through the ripening meadows,

buzzing the leaves and the

birds who’ve been at it for hours.

Light that in its excess has become something else.

The way Cranberry Falls is so frothed with runoff

it doesn’t look like water anymore. The way you look

from a hill’s highest point, your head full of chlorophyll,

heart shucking winter like a clayload of guilt,

like pollen with its open fire policy

compensating loss. You exceed yourself,

tanked on the light and the birds

who’ve been singing forever.

We have a long day of rain in the Seattle area. It was good, though, because we needed it.

We celebrate the summer solstice as a day of thanksgiving…
