Nothing catlike

About that Diogenes fellow,

I tell you we need more

Curs like him to even up the score—

He’d spit on rich men’s pusses

With one leg raised,

Pissing on their floor.

Salamander Cove and are now available for viewing by the public.

For some, this is an epiphany,

For others, a sign to keep

Watching the heavens.

Autumnal Susurrus

When we turn, not a rustling

Of leaves behind us—

Just one leaf rustling

Loud enough

To wake the dead.

Definitely Not Lemmings #36

A warm bear hug to Pouting Bear who says ’’We are two persons, although it's hard to tell most of the time. Along with an affection for words, we share a last name. Curtis Ackie is a bear that mostly writes, and Ivana is a pouty git correcting his ways.” Welcome aboard!

Finding myself

Musing over

This pen 

Sieve.

How to Eavesdrop on Your Echo

I keep telling you

Distance is in the way

You have to make room for it

Under your roof

Without giving yourself away.
