Chiaroscuro
I love the light this time of year
from a sun low in the sky
shadows longer
deeper
highlights higher
brighter
colors warmer, purer
undiluted by haze
and when the edibles take hold
the viewfinder becomes a portal
opening to worlds
of foreshortened perspective
lines curving and straight
shapes and forms
blocks of color
all removed from the homely objects
that wear them
disconnected
from the chaff and disorder
surrounding them
distillations
into visual haiku
abstractions
simplifying their reality

cannabis chiaroscuro permeates the senses
the mundane becomes a little more exciting
our appreciation grows with our digestion
and our patience helps us see beyond the ordinary

I love low sunlight too. It shows the rock in all its glory.

reason is over rated, as is logic and common sense-i much prefer the passions of a crazy old woman, cats and dogs and jungle foliage- tropic rain-and a defined sense of who brings the stars up at night and the sun up in the morning---

Pandemic propaganda.
I hoped it was only that.
I hoped it wasn't that.
Everything seems like
one
big
pile
of propaganda.
Propaganda for lunch,
dinner, spring, winter.
Up is down,
down is up.

Re: Chiaroscuro
I know that if I did anything at all it was a mother
To become the woman I always wanted to be
Convinced that you have the recipe
And God knows nuthin but hungry

In the moonlight
The sun playfully arrive during the world of the kindness
