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 puzzling situation

Over the years, I’ve told my son at least a thousand times, “It’s a puzzle, figure it out.” Borne of necessity, I used the phrase to promote action in my child, given that his first response to difficulty, traditionally, was to either give up or make a half-hearted attempt. Because of his laissez-faire attitude, my…

Mating rituals of muskrats

April 23, 2025
Muskrat mating is so sensational that songs have been written about it. Fans of 1970s pop music might be familiar with a certain ballad, written by Willis Alan Ramsey and popularized by bands like America and Captain & Tennille, about two anthropomorphic muskrats falling in love. Though you probably won’t find breeding muskrats “nibblin’ on…
