Where are we now when we were there then, before we became ourselves?

By Meira Droznah 

Woolly on your way

To being Isabella

Are you aware of

Your transformation or

Are you only looking, now, 

For a snuggly place 

Maybe Mossy

We crossed paths at the

Intersection of

October and September 

The fall came and I missed

The day

The Equinox

Is a mountain and a celestial

Event but was it

Consequential?

Just a reference 

And where we met

Was beyond a point in time and

Space

Am I transforming backwards

In becoming the way that

Less is more

And you

Were you always Isabella the

Tiger Moth and

Returning home

And then who was I when I will be 

Me again

I can’t wait to find out

But first a cozy fire

At the crossroads of crumbly 

Orange red brown

Me my crocheted throw and you 

The undergrowth.

A variety of fears

May 28, 2025
One of the TV talk shows I was watching recently discussed fears. The comment was made that we outgrow most childhood fears, but some remain. Fear of the dark is a common one when you are young. I remember a night light solved that problem for me. My bedroom door was left open, and there…

‘Friendship’ is not for the faint of heart

May 28, 2025
Forming a new friendship with someone in your 40s is challenging enough; try doing it if you’re an introvert. Writer/director Andrew DeYoung’s comedy “Friendship” is a hilariously dark look at male bonding with a leading performance from Tim Robinson that audiences won’t soon forget.  Where to begin with this movie? I guess, for starters, a…
