These Things Are Serious, By The Way Kallista Stamenov

I just want to go to sleep, but a wasp has managed to sneak in a window a door a portal (at this point I can only wonder) I once found a sunflower with multiple faces a mutated maiden with that part in the center almost completing a full circle different she may be but maybe that makes her all the more beautiful I have a cat who likes to hunt. There are coyotes in our neighborhood so we keep the cats inside, but still he goes on the prowl running down the stairs chasing a mouse filled with catnip I’ve had a backyard light post that I just installed it didn’t need direct power, only solar for years it has patiently sat tucked away in a garage corner because I have no electrician skills I like to separate my aloe vera plants, putting them in multiple pots so they don’t get crowded. Now I probably have 80 aloe vera plants. 11 The April Perennial
