Mud Season ~ Tess Taylor We unstave the winter’s tangle.Sad tomatoes, sullen sky. We unplay the summer’s blight.Rotted on the vine, black fruit swings free of strings that bound it.In the compost, ghost melon; in the fields grotesque extruded peppers.We prod half-thawed mucky things. In the sky, starlings eddying.Tomorrow, snow again, old silence. Today, theContinue reading “Monday’s Musing”

Moon in Aries sextile Pluto in Aquarius This week’s increased speed with which we receive, approach, and go about our lives must be tempered by the grounding influence of Moon, Jupiter, and Uranus’s presence in stable and resourceful Taurus if we are to make the kind of progress we want to.
