Black Snake
Black snake eats the bubbles in the swamp, the aspirations and exclamations of all those that slide or splish splash past.

It felt like dancing
Ice, truck pirouette Blue sky flashing, we roll like panda in the snow.

A Rabbit for Owl. Runner-Up in Return of the Night Owl Challenge.
Darling should not have made the journey. That’s what they said. Let’s face it, a pregnant mother at an all-women wilderness conference was a little out of the norm. “Good for you!” one of the ladies said, “I never would have ventured this far away from the city when I was six months pregnant!” in a way that sliced her down as quickly as it raised her.

The Eye
She woke abruptly to the smell of plastics burning. Dirty stinky dark fumes. It was still night. She should have been alone. She lay still and quiet and listened in her nest of blankets like a mouse in grass.

Hey Night Siren
Someday you’ll wear your glasses in the bath so you can read the instructions for products that promise to keep you from looking like your mother.

The Swim Club
The crickets were loud in the grass but Oakley hadn’t caught one. The humming and buzzing dry grass end of summer, one last camping trip, this time lakeside. Oakley ran ahead in the sand and circled round kicking it up while his parents set up a blanket, shade tent, and other elements of home base. Mother found a chewy toy for the baby.

How 23andMe will save the world
Welcome to Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. Nestled slightly to the north on supernaturally stunning Vancouver Island is Saanich, Victoria’s sleepy sister burb. We do things like walk in the forest, roll our kayaks to the water’s edge, and keep chickens. It’s big news when local teens are murdered.
