Nature

Anguish

She had stepped through the thin-draping spider webs and kept brushing them off, mindful to be careful of any baby spiders.

But the last swipe produced an accidentally-crumpled, moist body-squished sensation as it dropped from off of her mid-lower fingers from back of her leg where she couldn’t see it – and she couldn’t reconcile the injuring.”

Where Demons Tread

Dear Friend,

What if you do not like me in reality?
I’ve dealt with such extremes in life

Face-value is not something I’m giving
Yet relationships have been distorting

And when under pressure I’m masking
No one took the time to unwrap layers

I have very simple needs inside really
Yet men have run off with tucked tails

Accusing me as if witchery
For wanting a true bonding

Nature

One Each Way

“At least one chubby rat and thick middlin’ snake live in our happily overgrown front garden zones currently.

During several times that I’ve watered, a sizeable, fuzzy-brown blur has been flushed out to duck into new hiding.

And today, similarity happened by my briefly-glimpsed noticing of the third end of a plump snake tail quickly disappearing as it had passed across behind me on the shaded pathway!

I am pretty happy about this becauss it means our little garden area is a mini ecosystem.”
