Village of Elgin, Arizona, Wine Tasting Room (June 23, 2018) — Image by kenne
One day in June
we tosted raising
a glass with new
friends on the road
I quoted the poet
sounding effete:
“Oh, it was a brave
man who drink one.”
Feeling brave, we
proceeded to drink.

Somewhere in the Dark
My check engine light is on.
You know the one that comes on
even when everything seems fine,
but you know that it’s only a matter
of time before everything comes to a full stop?
Yeah. That.
My check engine light is on.

“These Fellings” — B & W Abstract by kenne
You know it ain’t easy
For these thoughts here to leave me
There’s no words to describe it
In French or in English
`cause diamonds they fade
And flowers they bloom
And I’m telling you
These feelings won’t go away
They’ve been knockin’ me sideways
They’ve been knockin’ me out lately
Whenever you come around me
These feelings won’t go away
They’ve been knockin’ me sideways
I keep thinking in a moment that
Time will take them away
But these feelings won’t go away

Mother’s Boy (August 26, 2006) — Image by Joy
In the summer of 2006, we spent three months trying to get rid of a systemic infection that resulted from hip surgery.
Mother passed away on September 8, 2006, only a couple of weeks after Joy took this picture.
Everyone had convinced me that she was ready to stop fighting —
the pain was too much.

White-lined Sphinx Moth in Black & White by kenne
Designed for rapid flight, Sphinx Moths are shaped like airplanes and can clock speeds just over 30 miles per hour.
They’re also known as a hawk or hummingbird moths for similar flight patterns. Various sphinx moths
have been mistaken for bats and bees. Some can hover like hummingbirds while feeding. Sphinx moths
have the world’s longest tongue among moths and butterflies. They can draw nectar from narrow, tubular flowers
that are too deep for bees to reach. When not in use, the tongue rolls up. Many moths are a mottled brown,
but some have very colorful wing patterns. — Source: Discover Nature Notes

And the eyes of God shine through the coyote fence.”
