the unpainted stars:
rolling fires of genesis,
all colors of creation
from our safe
& certain distance
how they appear
to hold their silences,
each white-gold celebration
hammered & framed
against the velvet wall of night
💫

the measurable distance
between poems
one maple leaf falls
then another
one Canada goose calls
then another
one snowflake drifts
then another
one memory arrives
then another
one lifetime
then another
and another

Radareyda, you would love this place. The Tupelo and cypress are mystical. Look at those dancers trapped inside trees and look at the remains of a giant cypress. Most likely cut to use in boat building since there was a big boat industry in the area. The owl, who follows me, feels at home here

Don’t let the green foul you into thinking it’s lush grass. It’s duck weed covering the dark waters. Even though paddling is the main attraction here, there are three great trails here too.

We endured strong winds & sleet showers, we were wet and cold, but the light made it worth it. The skies opened, the magic happened, & we rushed to capture the awe inspiring beauty! Tombstone, Yukon, Canada.
