The Dynamics of Groove

Lately

Lately Every room I go to I meet plants who are starting to flower These ones Despite the cold Despite the lack of moisture sometimes Despite the drought Still grow Still flower With only a touch of help From someone else Lately I am astonished by what I am capable of I push on boundaries…

the hunt

The girl moved swiftly through the forest. Dodging branches snapping back at her. She moved with alacrity. Her pace was even. She was nimble. She wove around rocks stuck in the ground. She jumped, sliding over the trunks of broken trees. She moved quickly. Hurried steps. She looked behind her. Then ahead. She quickened her…

great bird flies

A great bird made swoops in the sky. It glided across the blue and those down below stopped to watch it. As it got closer to the town, it disappeared from view. The man from the forest emerged without a word. The people from the town hadn’t seen him in some time. And the were…
