it was september

and the air was warm

the moon was bright

we laughed sweetly

knowing nothing

it is a safe place

where you can rest and dream

nothing is urgent

everything is quiet

too sweet

shades of pink and red 

melt into each other 

in the november heat

a flower smells too sweet

i'm not sure what happens next

the day's light is fading quickly

i still haven't hung up my clothes

crawdads dangle

the river is in black and white

he leaps from the bridge

in a crescendo of limbs

of twists

shrieks of anticipation

he comes up for air

his teeth flash in the too bright light

young blood runs thick

crawdads dangle by their tails

and his chest swells

his eyes travel back up

to where his toes last touched

he climbs again

unto that element

 “When down her weedy trophies and herself

Fell in the weeping brook. Her clothes spread wide;

And, mermaid-like, awhile they bore her up:

Which time she chanted snatches of old tunes;

As one incapable of her own distress,

Or like a creature native and indued

Unto that element: but long it could not be

Till that her garments, heavy with their drink,

Pull’d the poor wretch from her melodious lay

To muddy death.”

― William Shakespeare, Hamlet

chrisoula's top floor

from chrisoula's top floor

i see to the mountain's top

to the olive grove rows

across tiled rooftops

to the fields of sheep

across a misted sky

to orange dots crowding

backyard trees

blues and greens blend

into a wintery mix

feeding the worked soil

underfoot i feel the

shaken olive fruit

i hear a dog's call

as a filled truck-bed

bounces along the field road

back home
