Edifice

Tiberius 
First over the Carthage wall
Rome's great hero 
But to a mob did fall
Treachery
Or mortality will eclipse us all
Achievement 
To nothing, the worms doth call
Yet strive to mark
Your history, build halls
Inspiring the next
Generation to stand tall

Clematis







alchemy of seeds
map of the joined nucleics
will pre-chill 'til birth

Personal Experience With Canned Oxygen Use For The Effects Of Wildfire Smoke



I noticed these oxygen cans at the local grocery store in the pharmacy department a month or two ago. Since the air quality has been degraded by wildfire smoke, I'd been suffering low level headache, bad fatigue, and brain fog.  I have noticed some relief since using it (along with Tiger Balm). They are a bit costly, around 17.00 a can this size, but since the smoke will be around for days, I felt it was worth the expense. It is 10 liters producing about 200 one-second inhalations. I am encouraging the family to use it as well. The label makes no claim of any ability to cure, treat or prevent any disease, it is sold as an athletic aid & is not medical grade. I did feel less crappy & a marked improvement in the brain fog, so if anyone else is suffering, I recommend it. Follow label directions & remember oxygen is flammable.

Prickly Rose Time





Reflect the light
Reflect each other
Double the scent
A thousand thorns
On the prickly roses
At peace back to back
It is their season
In the sun's heat
Welcome for the bees
Dancing upon the prairie wind

Anyway

starless clouded night
a darkness unrelenting
firefly beacons rise

Springburst


Detritus pushed aside
Bulbs flaunt their hidden
Lifeblood
Arrayed for selection
Opened to the sun
Reflecting it back
Vital in their needs
To mix again
Increasing their force
Their number
Their presence
More, more, more!

Newflower


in a greening lawn
there are new colors today
violets appear
