Mother clinging to more
Posted on Wed, 23 Jul 2025
Mother clinging to more natural pursuits of the beach and yoga and her daughter disappearing into phone world. I always imagine myself as an early riser appreciating the sunrise but the reality is the rest of my family are night owls and keep me...

So bizarre but also believable. The salty sea dog man with insect legs sticking out from his teeth. I know he exists somewhere. And the paranoia, a churchy element. It's so well done and so brilliant!

A perfect poem for the full moon, Jenny. It was better to be cursed by a witch than to be accused of being one. Celest is a beautiful name and you describe so well the contrast between the cold, simple men with guns and the rich magical couple...

I found this journey through the seasons tapped into the emotions, the joy of spring, the stark loneliness of winter, naked ice horses and hoar forst, There's always a sadness when the geese start honking in vast formations across the darkening...
