To know your kiss...
an atom-splitting instance

cyclonic inferno in a
fiery blitz of synapses

the kiss of ancients
lives spent and ever-present

presaged in near-waking dreams,
in the sorrowed sighs
of hushed whispers in the mind

Alt: Stevie from Family Guy looking frazzled, sitting on the floor of a padded cell wearing a straight jacket, rocking back and forth says, "I'm just fine thank you. How are you doing?"

The sun going down on what is most likely the last beautiful day for quite awhile.

Cloudy skies with a little sun peeking through.

My body is a temple.

Ancient, crumbling, cursed and probably haunted.

A partly open orange and yellow dahlia. The still curled petals appear a dark pink.

I finally pulled my actual camera (Lumix FZ1000) out of the closet and started relearning how to use it (and an SD card reader...sheesh!)

Here are some practice pics I snapped of my potted patio hibiscus.
