Old Abandoned House 5 comments
Old Abandoned House (Alamos, Sonora, January 28, 2016) — Image by kenne
this old house
has a story to tell
of joy and pain
of the family
it provided a home
shelter from the
winter cold
and summer storms
now abandoned
no longer a home just
a house made of stone
and rotten wood

Morning Is Bright — B&W Leave a comment
Morning is Bright — B&W Image by kenne
morning
in black and white
listening
to soft jazz
new light and passion
born
in the moment
of eternal morning
releasing negative energies
of past efforts
with the morning sun
my cares pass as
for a moment I am
childlike
in a world
false positives.

Traditions embody mythic time,
they record historical time as well.
Who the Mayo are today depends on
those who preserve the ancient practices.

Black and White Desert Scene — “Time Present And Time Past” 3 comments
“Time present and time past . . .” — Image by kenne
Time present and time past
Are both perhaps present in time future
And time future contained in time past.
If all time is eternally present
All time is unredeemable.
What might have been is an abstraction
Remaining a perpetual possibility
Only in a world of speculation.
What might have been and what has been
Point to one end, which is always present.
Footfalls echo in the memory
Down the passage which we did not take
Towards the door we never opened
Into the rose-garden. My words echo
Thus, in your mind.
— T. S. Eliot

Ah You Foes That In Conflict Have Overcome Me 4 comments
Tom Turner (Seattle, June 12, 2000) — Image by kenne
Poverties, Wincings, and Sulky Retreats
Ah poverties, wincings, and sulky retreats,
Ah you foes that in conflict have overcome me,
(For what is my life or any man’s life but a conflict with foes,
the old, the incessant war?)
You degredations, you tussle with passions and appetites,
You smarts from dissatisfied friendships, (ah wounds the
sharpest of all!)
You toil of painful and choked articulations, you meannesses,
You shallow tongue-talks at tables, (my tongue the shallowest of
any;)
You broken resolutions, you racking angers, you smother’d
ennuis!
Ah think not you finally triumph, my real self has yet to come
forth,
It shall yet march forth o’ermastering, till all lies beneath me,
It shall yet stand up the soldier of ultimate victory.
— Walt Whitman
Tom sent this Whitman poem to me the day before my 65th birthday — “I knew you would like it.”
He was correct!

Hooting outstretched dead limbs

Smokin’ Joe’s Roadhouse, gone
