Caveat: Poem #812

The rain will take a pause, a surging tide will rise, and thus the dawn's chill cause unfolds to draw my eyes. Two seagulls squat below upon the dock's damp wood, their wings their feathers throw: a raucous talk is... Continue reading

Caveat: Poem #809

A DMV Ode Waiting is a kind of hard training. Yet it requires nothing active. One simply should still the mind. Those spinning thoughts hinder. One can look outside. There's a nice view. One sees trees. Rain falls. Wait. Continue reading

Yesterday I found the middle stake on the southern property line - the division between the two lots of Arthur's property here. Now from here, I should be able to use the same technique to find the southwestern stake, which... Continue reading
