I’ve arrived home to star grass season. I call it star grass, but it’s actual name is Hairy Panic Grass, possibly due to the fact that the sight of this stuff burying everything induces a feeling that is indeed akin to hairy panic. Piles of feather light seed heads piled up against any barrier, fences, […]
Rain closes the curtain on the horizon Soft dove grey meets gunmetal glimmer Tepid taps on already wet shoulders Saturated hair Fresh water mingles with salt Another wave breaks, and I sink into shifting sand far beneath the surface Lost temporarily in the noisy crashing silence Rising I breathe moisture Floating, tumbling foam drifts through […]
This morning it is raining again The sea is whipped into frenzied foaming white capped horses that beat at the shore and trample everything in their path To enter the ocean is like walking into a stampede, and who would do that?
