"The glacier knocks in the cupboard, The desert sighs in the bed, And the crack in the teacup opens A lane to the land of the dead."

The Disappearing Witch



One  evening, just after moonrise, the neighbors lit a bonfire.

Shadow Play




Shadows on the wall in the house of my parents; The 1960's iron trellis was always strangely disappointing to climb.
