careful of prayers:

prayed for rain.. now everywhere, 
.
in hair, on cat, sigh

Texas no water,
.
animals, plants suffer thirst
.

heart breaking summer

========

water, teenagers

not a natural mix, sigh

mom’s try change, and fail

water bills rise high

opposite sex attention

teenagers shine, glow

Dull witted first thing in the morning

I stiffled a yawn to start the race

to get things done before noon.

.

Dull thoughts,

not racing, but sliding

thru my mind.

Can my mind yawn?

I think it did.

.

A yawn,

emptied the room of air.

I felt it happen…

knowing the yawn was

dull and unattractive,

before the morning’s race

to get things done.

.

“Night” people,

yawning thru daylight hours,

their rhythms are not of the “day” people,

the people racing thru their daily rhythms

blissfully awake and clear of mind.

Yawn, and yawn some more,

people of the night,

clearing the dull cobwebs til night is here

and life is racing for them.

The Muse of Opal Valley

thrust her fingertips with verve and vigor

towards the mirror that told of an omen

of men looking for sheering sheep
.
along the corridor of the hills and valleys.
.
Strengthen the raw thread of your work”
.
.she advised
.
“and look for those traveling the corridor yearning
.
for  wool thread, strong  and soft to the fingertips.
.
Let them take your goods but not your
.
sheering sheep, the  raw thread of your existence.”
.
“The Muse of Opal Valley has spoken”
,
according to the mirror.
