Bottle Dump

Leafy Settings

past shards surface
leafy settings tabled, tarnished
tossed
old frost heaved beakers,
bottles, fine plates and bowls
their edges sharp,
snapped
reminders cracked, piled and set
cast carelessly
forward from colonial times
till Mother Earth
begged
and cried to clear her table
for future guests
inviting leaf-mossy menu
pine forest fare


I have posted images from this generational pile, a nasty mound we have emerging from the forest floor beside the wooded path to my brother's house. We suppose it began piling up in colonial times or soon after as settlers on this land cast away the broken remnants of their lives. It was used by Nora and Gordon too until the earth cried out and awareness surfaced to end this reckless habit .

For the Record,
This day came in warm and lovely. My sister in law, DJ went into surgery at 9 AM for her gallbladder removal. It should be completed by 11.

Update, operation was a success and she's actually home and in her own bed tonight!

All hands healthy
