#NewThisDay Writing From My Photo Stream
How I hate to hurry on my walk, especially this
morning, misted by the dreamy Charles, brushed
by autumn foliage and unruly grapevine, the art
of nature beholds me. I let myself be gathered
by what is rot and fresh and holy - I let myself be
stopped by this painter's palette fungi spilling over
from decay, then, returning home, a morning moon
flashes up instead of beaming down, a perfect wafer
like offering, a tender life pushed from fruiting soil.
