Memory Furnace
Red hot coals
Burn in the furnace
Forgotten memories
Float to the surface

Stream Prowling
Far more frivolous than a jester in court
Reaching further than the widow in her grave
Foraging for lost buttons on red dessert highway
Forlorn blackberries barring their thorns
Salvaging broken vinyls from musical ponds
Bettering technical elements in octagons
Scraping the spatula clean of all the batter
Freezing the peas one by one in a cup
Screeching banshees stealing the roof above our heads
Moaning hooligans restless in the city of neon
Fresh roadkill waiting for the midnight prowler.

Mizzly mist over lake and hill. Pentax MX, Ektar 100, Oct 2022.
Half a ton
Half a ton of coal
and half a ton of fog
Both weigh the same
But only one turns the cogs.
