balm of gilead

sunday scribblings no 200: milestone. ss is hitting 200 prompts this week. congrats to a great site!!

breezin past fifty
the days bunched up
squeezed like an accordion
playing crazy mariachi

nowadays nonchalance
writes ankle-deep porous pieces
along an abandoned sidewalk
with bright colored chalk

fishing sometimes cures
quiet splash of time
depth of this river
the sweet salve subdues

mmm dynamite, swirl: very good descriptions by your commentators. reminds me of mardi gras for some reason; fitting.
