#Carolina swamps

The night I took these I heard hissing in the woods and a horrendous wave of freezing air rushed over my body. The tell-tale signs of the Carolina haints my grandma spoke of.

Drinks at 8

We all float about

Like the Scottish weather

To don this human veil of authority

Is a burden beyond ability

Like meeting for drinks at 8

Before my mind goes about it’s appointed rounds

Sweeping up the night

My heart is somewhere in the salt marshes of my soul

And my anger is slithering silently across the fertile ground

Waiting to strike

I see ancient smoke rising from a clearing in Carolina

Silver waves crashing in on pristine shores

Words in the ether

Emotions in your tether

Meeting for drinks at 8

I think I will leave it right here

And let all the belles slip back into the shadows of Hellhole Swamp

Amongst the musket balls and arrowheads of my youth

Tonight I’ll sleep alone

And wrestle with Jacob’s ghost

And dream of Valhalla ….

….Drinks at 8

“But you gave away the things you loved,

And one of them was me

I had a dream…

There were clouds in my coffee

Clouds in my coffee… “- Carly Simon

Oh hey

Did I tell you guys that I acquired a swamp milkweed? (Look I’m collecting milkweed like Pokémon cards I don’t have a problem) I planted it in the lowest part of the yard, under a tree so it’s a bit more moist than the rest of the yard!

It was definitely a task to get it from my favorite nursery because they kept selling out of milkweed, which is a wonderful problem to have! (In fact, they sell out of a lot of native plants there- I love it!)
