Winter

there is nothing left

of the hour -

we drown

in this dull day

frozen layers of darkness

grow to the edge

winter seeps

into the corners of our eyes

and mouths

spreading across our skin

like silence

Amaryllis. When spring seems far away. ❤️

Christmas Eve

red and blue and green

illuminate the tree

the light is low

gold and silver balls

provide the glitter

and while 

a somber thought 

slips over me

words within the room

drift like snow

Abandoned 

Lynnewood Hall / Pennsylvania 

Part 1 - A gorgeous building.  Very eerie.

(Let’s hope it’s restored someday.)

Part 2 - The upstairs. It’s haunting!

 Not to change the subject… but

I could live in this staircase! 🤍
