The Quantumverse
Apparently I need rescue by
Captain America or
Wonder Woman,
But they are
Super busy.
Instead I get Clam Man.
This is no job for
Steroid-jacked mollusks!
Or snapping, nipping
Seashells!
Clam Man is dejected
When I call for a do-over with
The Sandman.
“It is life’s work to recognize the mystery of the obvious”
– Jim Harrison (Day Twenty-Seven – 28 Days of Unreason)
Honeycrisp apple –
Wife offers sweet mystery,
Temps me with a bite
“The river can’t heal everything”
– Jim Harrison (Day Twenty-Five – 28 Days of Unreason)
Lips as split as sky –
The headwaters of mercy –
Rain on Golgotha
“Nature has portals, rather than doors”
– Jim Harrison (Day Twenty-Four– 28 Days of Unreason)
Kelp, brack, salt and mud
Moon pulls blanket from the bed –
Smell slams angry door
"Nature detonates your mind with the incalculable freshness of the new day"
– Jim Harrison (Day Twenty-Two – 28 Days of Unreason)
Nature calls; frogs splash
Old pond scents familiar –
Dog is relieved
"Like many poets I’m part blackbird and part red squirrel and my brain chatters, shrieks, and whistles."
– Jim Harrison (Day Twenty-One – 28 Days of Unreason)
Quiet sensing wind
.22 Longs for season –
Waiting for the fall
"Words are moving water, muddy, clear, or both"
– Jim Harrison (Day Twenty – 28 Days of Unreason)
Gin-clear morning light
Feels like dirty martini
Drunk with cloudy dreams
