Images and fleeting thoughts on the Avenue

The avenue, this Wednesday. Michael Lee Johnson.

Today's aura calls for reflection and the grayness that settles over an area just before the storm or reminds us of the after effects before the sun finally bursts through the cloudy horizon

Lorie

Lorie, you want to see me clearly

through this joy of my naked body
avoiding the sweat of my emotions,
just breathing on my neck
rubbing this baseline of my groin-
will not find us here again.
Go away, leave me thinking
louder than your breath-
body moves quietly
in a lazy sway of indifference.

Saskatchewan Sky

Saskatchewan

sky,
just a preview of love,
chip off
an edge of
prairie
chip an edge off
winter-
and opening
multiple eyes
toward spring.
They-lovers, find themselves
near evening bush fire-
great seal fish and open lake,
cuddle together-
so wonderful there-
where she comes from,
where did she go to
from here.
