riders on the storm




Yes, it's raining .. and raining... and raining!

What better time to visit Gooderstone Water Gardens in Norfolk. It's great in the sun, but the rain brings a deeper sublime beauty. The verdant foliage, the soft rain-drops casting circles across the streams and pools that traverse the gardens, the primeval scent of damp earth - it overwhelms the senses.

The gardens are empty and we wander in dream-filled reverie.

dreams and nightmares - no. 115


the drowning




we dodged the heat
between
trees and weeds
and
spuming fungus
bound aloft in poison ivy

the swamp
breathed dark water
curdled with leaves
while a frog padded
impassively
among the lace-filigree
water-lilies
to find its resting place

drowning here in summer's garden
