The Mag -124

I’ve set down anchor

in the sea I find myself in.

Not the one,

I would have sailed
by choice.

It’s the wind

that blew me here.

My course altered

from navigation

carefully plotted.

Tossed into the deep

I am surfacing,
to merely float in place.

White flag surrender.

~ Karen

The Mag - 121/OSI 224

Still Life, 1670, detail by Jean François de Le Motte

a small treasure found

tucked away

among the debris   

of what once was

shinning brightly...

beckoning

longing to be remembered...

and loved once again

once fresh wholesome food

processed parcels for purchase

wear pretty wrappers

　

choices abundant

manufactured sustenance

quality devoid

　

higher standards sought

detour past pop art pantries

in search of real fare
