A Life:

a decade here
another there

another spring
confirmed
my need to leave
here
lives of loves
were dashed
in spring
and now
now
I cannot smell the sweet acacia
see the lupine blooms
without recalling
death
and toxin’s spread
that comes with spring

Tanqueray and Perrier
with bitters, ice, salt rim

satisfies the evening yearn
when walls start closing in

turn the grill on
soak the shrimp
in lime and Sriracha

cook ‘em fast
eat em slow
desert summer’s
gotcha

Fig Season © Kim Nelson

I yearned to stay ’til fig season,
Reaped due of labors spent
Tasted ripe and succulent fruit
Learned again to be content
But
If I had stayed ’til fig season
I never would have left
And so
No tooth could sink into that flesh

Violet Enlightenment
original encaustic © Kim Nelson

Settling, legs folded
perched on violet rug
I enter
serenity’s realm

calm envelops
vision opens
purpose becomes clear
Divine and I
share the helm

merged
we create

it is good
