Cloudy glasses

I look through cloudy glasses

Greasy steam from the stove

Almost melts the cheap plastic

From the dollar store rack

Disposable as we all are

The River

The river beckoned

But I don't go

Maybe one day

Squash

A very hot day, close to 100 degrees. I planted several areas with squash this morning. 

Old Woman

I watched an old woman eat ice cream

She caresses each bite

As if it were her last.

She did not know I was there

Standing outside her kitchen window

Late in the evening

She ate from the carton

Glancing out the window

Looking into the dark

Words

Graven images, what are they?

Vines

Vines grasp, engulf

Clinging to the walls

Hunger, relief 

From the sun

The heat

South Georgia Heat 

My Neighborhood

Today 3 houses were demolished on Oak Street. Tomorrow the fourth will go down.
Left photo is this afternoon. Right is this morning.

May Gardening

Okra transplanted, peppers are in the ground. The compost pile needs water, it is a little dry.
