Tiny bell flowers,
Each with one bright water drop,
Are glowing through fog

So Hot
.
.
We sweat, itching in the sweltering hot swamp.
The humid summer air a burden, seeming more
Heavy than our torpid bodies can bear.
.
My own screeching tinnitus is amplified
By the insect’s constant whine, the decibels
Overwhelming the earth’s hot wildcat scream.
.
The pristine river is here guarded by acres
Of steaming thick river mud, and warm to the touch,
Mosquitoes and ticks sentinel the lost paths.
.
The river invites. Swim at risk in the soothing
Red tannic waters, home to alligators, poisonous
Cotton mouth snakes, snapping turtles, gar fish, eels.
.
Pollen, dust, and ashes float suspended in the
Turbid damp air, filling sinuses, eyes, mouth,
Unbreathable, coating surfaces with thick gray green.
.
The longed for cool of the evening shall only arrive
Hustled by howling cyclonic storms, while local
Inversions trap the heat, cooking all with pressure.
.
.
A small jeweled humming bird hovers, unconcerned,
Before me, then flits away, the tiny nest hidden.
With gratitude and cool well water, I rinse my face.

February 17 & 18 Photos — Home
These photos are close to the St. Mary’s River, on the East bank, Florida side. The river flows North here and is a little high, though it has receded quite a bit in the last few days.

- This is a walking path when the river is lower. Facing West, towards the river.

There is smoke in the air from farmers and their Spring brush burns.

-
- glare through smoke
-
- smoke to the west
-
- seeds
-
- shimmering light even with smokey haze
-
- From this side the web was all sparkles
Here, close to the river it is darker so that plants bloom a little later than only a mile or so away. Still there is new growth and green and a few buds. Even here in the shadows the sun filters through bringing the new growth.
