2021 welcome playground

[saw]

here comes omicron
wave after wave after wave
get vaccinated

[saw]

woke up to quiet
not such a terrible thing
the coffee tastes good

[judih]

3-day silence
no news is great news
enough work breathing

[judih]

after the retreat
morning news more distant
dharma talks within

[saw]

have an idea
what to paint but before then
new all over again

[judih]

postcards of snowfalls
vacations in sub-tropics
all mine in the mind

[judih]

even in dreams
brain as trickster
delusion tactics

[stilltrucking]

escape into dreams
relieves frustration
restores still waters

[judih]

loathe to decorate
fear of being uprooted
content with what is

[saw]

hiked to the waterfalls
so my troubles could cascade
from the cliffs above

[judih]

yesterday's grey sky
portends of wintry today
thermal protection

[stilltrucking]

spooky morning
dime store jew
got the late blues


"Sadness leaks through tear-stained cheeks
From winos to dime-store Jews
Probably don't know they give me
These late John Garfield blues"—Song by John Prine[/quote]

I despise self pity
I GOT TO KICK MYSELF
to get back up

[judih]

fat pink comforter
glorious invitation
happy to accept

[saw]

tossed and turned buoy-like
my ocean a queen sized bed
blanket turbulence

[sasha]

second snow
car died in the first
ignition...

and we have liftoff!
the clock has started!
