It has been many weeks since it last posted. When things hang heavy on the mind I can not write. Even looking at the blog saddens me to an emptiness where I write from. I have visited the lake a few times. I went back today with a camera. the sights are not pleasing. The first 2 are from the dam I walk. The third is the boat ramp where Ashley caught her first fish in Pa.

To my lady friend Susi, I will open my messenger every night for the rest of August to see if you write.

Sleep Early Tamarack

Lady...

I drink of your

heart's fading beauty

with sadness...

 The sun and moon

once strolling paths of

gold and silver...

 now stumble 

upon bones of your

depths

No change of

season brings such a

stench of decay

upon your breath

Let your soul

Sleep early lady...

Those now leeching life's

blood...

seek to return

your heart's 

strength and beauty
