Like a tea party.

" 'Thou a philosopher, forsooth!' I said,
'What hast thou found in that dim world of thine,
Aught half so true and stable as this hill?' "

--J Stanyan Bigg

"And in the field of combat the same line existed between delusional top brass notions of 'heart and minds' and the real blood-and-ambiguity-drenched quagmire of the killing field." (via feuilleton)

   my blog drifts
on its own blunt
   druthers like
a pilgrim drake
   clyting pools
of clear turquoise

34
   saved or not
by wayback seines
   for a time
these tomes gathered
   these thoughts piled
for a paused glance

35
   telescope
with piney tang
   in clear air
climbing after
   fawn who stood
to stare me down

36
   those landmarks
march unfettered
   by breakage
or brutal warmth
   like the stars
when a storm ebbs

37
   the grass springs
from my gross tread
   new dazzle
for the dour bard
   in August
'mid rows of urns
