Entry for July 11, 2006

Storms descend so darkly the streetlights turn on at 3 in the afternoon

Little “click-beetle” tiptoes over scrawled words on old envelopes

Cats fight in the dark screaming with pain and lust and fear…we stand in the driveway….illuminated psuedo rose window perks up the street nighttime.

A meteorite crater means star wound: astrobleme-- or star wound (meteorite impact craters):

Firefly pushes his belly lantern against the glass of my drawing window pane (“the windows are paning” j beaver)

Loose dog trots briskly his ill-got freedom

Seventeen orange slugs on our banana peel: they must be banana slugs…?

Shape-shifting is daft, man, unless it’s a hologram waves particles quantums in our heads

All the children are washing away !! !! !! !! !!

Swift churning water

a pair of blue herons cry out circling around and around overhead…it looks like cicadas are emerging in the wood mud…field of fading penstemones

white pennies of hailstones

rusty water in the radiator

“I take small car

I get disks

I chase squirrel

I think about Moose…3 p.m.” daf

“I took car

didn’t go far

Not scary

Went to Library

Be back soon

Four hours before moon.” daf
