True North We are not only stars, love,
but the very earth
spinning beneath our feet.
The young, sharp-edged,
glacial peaks, the humble nursery
of oak and mushroom, moss and lichen,
where humans neglect to tread. It’s true, these atoms of ours navigate
the light-pricked, indigo sky,
strewn by gods and goddesses,
triangulated by stories of ancient myth. Their heroes and monsters hold
the course for Homer, Cook and all those in-between,
as ships turn wheel and rudder,

Niobe Extinguish this need,
dear one.
Let the wounds heal
and the saints
see to this ache. Pray the Rosary five times
that my Tower will not shatter
to ashes,
but be a lamp,
a lighthouse
fracturing the night,
signaling the sin-weary home. Tantalus taught me well,
how to yearn,
but not how to heal.
But still, I can warn them
away. Feel the soft wake
of drowning water at your feet.
In the dim, eternal Acheron,
a loaded boat slips past. Where is the shinin

Inhale water’s slow to make her art
a soft persistence
beguiles and seduces
the boulders crack and crumble
scatter bones beneath the waves
the tides have time to burn
winter’s weary centuries
break open earth’s blue blood Exhale #art #waiswater #droplet #fog #Water #photography #chushcoff #poetry #jennifer #poem #nature #preston #photos

WA IS WATER: An Intimate Portrait is finally here! My book launch at B-Sharp Coffee House was a success and we sold out of all copies and left with orders for more. It’s been an incredible two year journey. I’m so grateful to all those who helped and for the Tacoma Arts Commission support of local artists. I hope you enjoy the book! Purchase an eBook for $3.99. #TAIP #facts #DryFalls #Water #TacomaArtsCommision #chushcoff #washington #waterfalls #EasternWashington #drought #j

Dry There is a whisper
on the wind
a herald
autumn’s coming!
The drip-drip dew
downspout says
thank goodness
since the drought
has done us in.
The garden’s full of
crisp, brown leaves
copper needles,
so many thirsty throats. (The August Poetry Postcard Project was initiated by Paul Nelson of Seattle, WA. It challenges poets to write a poem a day in one go with no revisions on a postcard. Afterwards, the postcard is mailed to other participants. This is my second year and I ha
