Nine lives for a dog?
Andy Felthersnatch's dog burst into flames when it peed on a live wire. Felthersnatch later told the press, "There was an almighty explosion and the whole street lit up. I turned around and my dog was on fire." Power was off for five hours that day in a small town 10 miles north of Glens Falls, New York. Against all odds, the dog survived.

I see you all clear now see me
with recognition I remember you brothers
of Heaven before we lay eyes on Her
there is a dark woman who claims he encountered her not created her
she was seduced and drew Her portrait
then chained her
after learning her magics
he did dominate her using Adam to humiliate Her
He wanted a show in other words
her children with him rejected
because they were born of his darkness and rape
in terror she released them to Lu to care for
he would not give her peace they found heaven in hell
and Lu taught them self love

Calm before the storm
WHY is it always before the storm that hangs in the rain drops, that just before the storm arrives that the atmosphere, slowly began to take a shape and form over the world 🌎 For sure you can make an aura of space and time out of the deepness of the sounds, of the rain drops hitting the ground still protecting you ☔ as it falls from the skies, as the clouds begin to change. From white to gray then dark, taking forms of different stages, as the rain is echoing in the back ground like tapping, on a old tin roof that over time has become rusted, and beat up from the pounding, like...

Category Five - Direct Hit
A nail from a
missing shingle
caught my
leggings
as I watched the
bloated carcass
of my neighbor’s dog
drift past
the rain gutters.
I could hear survivor
cries in the distance
and I added my
voice to theirs
in some vain
hope that
helicopter
salvation,
was real.
Beneath my cold
wet,
shoeless,
body
lies the
sodden
remains of
a life.
My grandpa’s ashes
bobbing...

Vulnerability and Hellfire
Sometimes
Your give me your vulnerable
One moment at a time
Each syllable
Dancing
A rthymic flow
Graceful and amorous
Or a moody storm
Either way
I can't resist
The sweet sensation
Or your fiery finish
That is you
Your give me your vulnerable
One moment at a time
Each syllable
Dancing
A rthymic flow
Graceful and amorous
Or a moody storm
Either way
I can't resist
The sweet sensation
Or your fiery finish
That is you

blown away
the sun lost his dominance
as thick clouds bullied him into shadow
turning afternoon to complete darkness
no thunder...no lightning...no rain
only the gods breath in full fury
& things meant to stand tall & proud became horizontal
abasing themselves in the face of it
fallen trees & sundered limbs covered the streets
those caught unaware
{among them...my daughter...}
forced to dodge flying debris
we had no warning
& with one loud boom...power gave out
my tiny basement with its crowding...
as thick clouds bullied him into shadow
turning afternoon to complete darkness
no thunder...no lightning...no rain
only the gods breath in full fury
& things meant to stand tall & proud became horizontal
abasing themselves in the face of it
fallen trees & sundered limbs covered the streets

Kill the Pain
surrendered to
the elements
earth below
storms above
i lay, i pray
kill the pain
reign over me
rain through me
cleanse this body
heal my bones
cold as stone
kill the pain
clouds release
soul breaks free
surrendered to
the elements
i embrace the
purging power of
the cold october rain
the elements
earth below
storms above
i lay, i pray
kill the pain
reign over me
rain through me
cleanse this body
heal my bones
cold as stone
kill the pain
clouds release
soul breaks free
surrendered to
the elements
i embrace the
purging power of
the cold october rain

Navigating through uncertainty
Can often be very intimidating
But once you accept responsibility
And take accountability
It becomes easier to grasp
Reparation and restoration
Forgiving as well as healing
It’s a shift in paradigm thinking
Identifying the root cause
So that we understand who we are
In order to move forward toward
That vision
The better version of ourselves

Disco Ball
Finally, the clouds began to unfold
as the storm tried to blow itself apart
to frame a post-zenith gibbous of gold
which lit the aurum of my midnight heart
as the wind chimes japed out a lively tune
as warm and fresh and full of tropic life
as the vernal glory oft blown in June
or fingered through an independence fife.
But then, just as quickly as revealed,
the blasting billows would as quick return
like some prohibition fast repealed
to throw some moonbeam medleys in the churn
as if chimes and beams were the discotheque ...

Disjointed Untitled Piece
Amber arches awake.
Bright blooms bask.
Curious colors call.
Dancing days drift.
Echoes embrace earth.
Feathers flutter free.
Golden glows gleam.
Hazy hues hum.
Illuminated iris ignites.
Joy jumps jubilant.
Kind kisses kindle.
Lush leaves lull.
Morning murmurs mild.
Nature nurtures nests.
Orange opens over.
Petals paint pathways.
Quiet quivers quicken.
Rustling radiance ripples.
Sunflowers soak sun.
Tender tendrils twist.
Undulating upward urge.
