The Dynamics of Groove

the girl on the tree

High up in the tree and she could see everything. She saw where the river bent into the setting sun in the distance. She saw the forest, which she assumed stretched forever. But it didn’t it went to a red rock mountain. With flat smooth surfaces exposed to the sun, she said to herself: that’s…

pool of green light

Within the river, there was a part of the water dammed up from a fallen tree. It created a clear pool as the other water passed by freely. Current pulling everything downwards. Far away. To where, she didn’t know. She just knew she hadn’t ever been there before. Loud insects called across the waving trees….

bird of paradise

bird of paradise peeking out beneath the shade i can see you dancing to the wind nodding your head with the breeze you couldn’t hide yourself even if you tried bright orange and purple makes us all happy to look at you maybe chuckle to yourself as we say “hey, look at that!” you’ve made…

the forest dreams as she waits

Stars twinkling overhead. Wind was a little colder today than the day before. She sat outside the house, waiting, watching for the light to go out in the window.

There were a couple of grey smooth stones. She put them in a row curving around itself. If she found a stone that was wet on one side, she put that one facing the sky so the sun could heat it up and it would dry off. She did this for a while. She shifted…

house in the woods

Woke up at dawn and first thing she noticed was the light was out. She didn’t know if someone had done it or if it happened on its own. She didn’t see any other signs that someone had been around. But she felt groggy and it was taking a while to get used to being…

on this wave falling towards the deep

Girl on the board on the wave. Gliding. Lean back. Hover forward. Like you’re always right on the edge of falling down. Girl rides the wave and she makes it look easy. Like it’s the easiest thing in the world when she shifts left. Shifts right. Girl knows what to do as she comes to…

the sound of waves

they could hear the ocean’s waves pounding upon the sand even from here the sound of hardness turning to smoothness the sound of waves the sound of waves light glimmering on the surface crests of white cascading down and over swirling around creating mist that would eventually hit their faces breathing in this salty air…

sometimes when it rains

Sometimes when it rains, you get wet. Sometimes, when the water flowed up from the banks and pushed past forests and bushes and little flowers. Sometimes, when it seemed there was no place for shelter. Sometimes, when she found a place between rocks and did her best to hug herself into a smaller version of…
