Desert Dweller

-thoughts on life, death and gardening.

Lemony Snicket Nightmare


Crones seated on worn rabbit skin
tend cauldrons, bubbling spiced limes;
faceless mummers mime
busily bumbling bees.

Hearth fire
wandering aimlessly
seeking safe passage—
or escape.

Crystalline dewfall quenching
Viking thirsts and Roman lusts,
deflating Norman egos.
