Friction of a Large Breadth
Plenty is endured by each individual
The suspicion was gradual.
Denial is systematic.
The virago tried to diminish me.
The attention she gave me was minuscule,
and her inflections were erratic.
Her ambiguous reactions coerce me downwards as gravity does.
The atmosphere is lethargic and devoid of stability.
She seizes the life from within us.
Contentment is ever fragile.
Critiquing the quarrels of others is her forte.
She is overwhelmed by the abundance of bees that hover over the wood floors.
However, it is difficult to be sympathetic because she defends a treacherous man.
Who vomited nasty words towards her.

Dangerous High Bridge
Public Service Announcement Refreshing air fills your lungs, 420 feet above the river. Inhale the sweet aroma of evergreen trees, and experience scents the wind brings to you. The cascading, rushing river renews life. Ravens and eagles soar, calling in joyous freedom, catching updrafts. Giant evergreen trees stack the hillsides or create river turns with their fallen branches. Some days, clouds of cumulus, stratus, or cirrus float above, shifting into animal shapes. Vaping or smoking sullies the clean air. Forbidden. Campfires, loud music, and alcohol drinking and partying destroy the serenity. Forbidden.

A Dart at Dusk
Seconds ago, the sullen sun set on the two of us… my exuberant furry companion and me. A fresh breeze embraces us, delivering welcome relief from the day’s oppressive heat. His typical stumbling and staggering along — apace with a sloth — has turned into trip-trapping, high-stepping, almost skipping along.
