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 boxelder for Terry

November 20, 2024
My friend Terry Gulick, who passed away earlier this year, used to tease me about my favorite yard tree. Terry did a lot of gardening jobs when he wasn’t mentoring kids, and he was amused and a little offended by what I’d allowed to grow up in my former vegetable patch. It was bad enough…

What Killington was like in 1965

November 20, 2024
Killington was in the town of Sherburne in 1965. I remember going to the Sherburne Town Meeting in March of 1966. The ski area shut down until noon as the men all attended the morning portion of the meeting. It was mainly devoted to the highway department. A lengthy debate occurred about whether the town…
