Days Of Misted Grey

“Her deep and damp smile could feed the gardens on the edge of this town.”

— 15-word myth #85: Melissa / @azurestone9

Darkness owned

The months

Time froze

Entangled

With the heartbreak

Of a winter coffin

As I slumped

Into your recliner

Smoking your last

Cigarettes

Hearing your bones

Cry gratitude

For the morphine

I pumped

And remorse

For the lost years

Soco Falls, Part One

A double waterfall located on the Cherokee Nation near the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina.

Main waterfall at Soco, on the Cherokee Nation near the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina.

There was something rather blousy about roses in full bloom, something shallow and raucous, like women with untidy hair.

Clingman's Dome: Highest point in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park at 6,643 feet above sea level.

Surrendering to soulful disarray

along the twisted pathway to tranquility.
