It's calm here

I think I'm going to post here more. I love the GB but the decent threads there run thin.

That can't happen in our neighborhood. He would be eaten by bears. I'll haul out trash pretty soon, a few minutes before the little trash truck winds down our twisty dirt mountain road, but I'll pour in ammonia to deter scavengers.

Meanwhile, it's calm now. The calm before the storm? Or the calm before the story? Some stormy stories could appear at any moment. Thunderbolts, too. But no helicopters. Here, they mean either fire or fugitives. Stay calm. Fart.

She got up, wrapped the blanket around herself and padded up the steps. At first, she was plunged into pitch darkness. Alvin had shut off the running lights. In a few seconds, though, her eyes adjusted to the low light. There was only the slightest sliver of a moon, but she could make out Alvin, standing naked at the rail. He turned and held out his hand. She took it, and he pulled her to him. She opened the blanket and they nestled within it together.

She looked at him questioningly. He put his hand beneath her chin and gently raised her head.

The sky above her was aglow. She gasped at the sight of so many stars. Tears began to form in her eyes from the sheer wonder of it. She felt a wave of vertigo, and was glad to be held firmly in Alvin's arms.

"You know now why they call it the Milky Way," Alvin whispered.

"Alvin, I, I never saw anything like this. To think, it's been there my whole life, and I never saw it. Thank you for showing me this, it's a real gift."

He kissed the side of her face. "If I could make the universe a gift to you, Mary, I gladly would."

They stood together for a while,gazing at the shimmering sky. The night air grew chilly and they went back to the cabin and slept in each other's arms.

All is relatively calm, in certain spaces.
Nature carries on, despite what human
beings are focused on. Critters shepherd
their new younglings, the birds feed their
younglings.

So. Many. Kinds. Of. Roses. Blooming.

I could swoon, nearly overwhelmed
from the pleasure of breathing in the
scents.

Wedding flowers for June bride's bouquets,
are in bloom. Delicious scents. Green, green,
wherever you look.

The dark side of my own self
evaporated in sunlight
Though the hawks riding
the thermals hinted
at nature's red claws
and reddened teeth
