Nearly forgotten but glorious art, envisionings and historical oddments from the back corners of the internet
sparking on air as in the depths of a mansion abandoned to the waves a mutant raptor grows and grows . . . out when the next storm comes and takes away the roof . . . hopefully out to sea but maybe not . . . time to hope . . . time to fear . . .

meandering on air on the tip of a cloud soaring over the sea as way to the south where the frozen seas meet the sky a buzzing and then a spark . . . bees it is but of a different kind . . . rising in a ball to blot out the sun and then starting to grow . . . sideways in an endlessly circling ribbon and then beginning to tilt as they head towards the land . . . tips of their wings shooting off things that look like sparklers stuck in a baked alaska but not of the celebratory kind . . . just what are they for even the bees cannot say . . . oh no . . . a ship sunk with a shock from one . . . time to hide . . . the cave down on the beach . . . a climb down the cliff and into the water . . . just needing the tide a little up . . . that would work.

Oh to be here.
New York with the tweens all sitting on the sofa clutching their cell phones while the sourdough bread rises in the kitchen. A new Martha Stewart recipe and a husband who doesn’t always like those, but all the strange herbs left out. Hopefully it will taste like his grandmother’s bread. Living in memory, it is, with hot loaves left to cool on racks and grandchildren who dug out the middle with a spoon and snacked away, the butter running down their chins. That wonderful, but trying to capture every bread moment in real time impossible.

meandering on air as in the center of a far-away galaxy the archangels awaken from their long night and flex their wings . . . toward Earth or the other way . . . time to wait and see . . . something not for mere humans to decide . . .
