Excerpt from The Awakening:

With my body cooled down, I pick up the 30-30 and move once again toward the destination of our previous meeting site. I am all too aware that I am the only moving presence in the area, the silence is total. This has been the case so many times previously, that I am not surprised when the hairs on my arms and back begin to prickle. A chill raises a rash of gooseflesh on my back and chest. I notice I have stopped breathing, straining to hear something in the eerie and profound silence.

Without any preamble or warning, I find myself face to face with Demarcus.

I reactively flick the safety off on the 30-30, but standing dwarfed in the Bigfoot’s presence, it suddenly feels like a wimpy pea shooter instead of a weapon.

I do not believe I would ever shoot anyway, unless I absolutely have to. I’ve had a longstanding promise that I would only do so in self-defense.

Demarcus is motionless, standing about ten yards away.

His size alone is impressive enough to instill terror, but I hold my ground and meet his stare. Any aggressive move toward me and I am prepared to let the bullets fly. I am very conscious that I would have only fractions of a second to land a fatal shot before his big strides would overtake me.

“Demarcus,” I offer. “I have no idea why you were exiled here to our world, but I have no fight with you.”

Demarcus slowly swivels his head and looks about.

Sasquatch Thumb Stone

Many gifts from the Sasquatch come,

and this is a thumb stone.

It is something to think on

and a measure of patience.

It is a vessel that carries

the beauty of trust, first in oneself

and then in another.  It is a guide

from the dark to the light.

DAWN

Today I awoke

in an abyss of bad thinking,

a void fully absent

of the spirit of hope.

The voices of reason

have abruptly gone mute

as if the Sasquatch have sat down to pout.

The portals are closed.  Reality

has descended into a pool of uncertainty…

I wade the results.

Then a bird sings

and the horizon smiles with a glimmer of light.

From the mighty forest’s

stores of raspberry,

jasmine and dandelion,

Loquiili makes tea.

From the fruits

of pear, sweet apple

and pin cherry,

from the stores of juniper,

rose and burdock,

from the mighty forest’s 

kenaf and licorice,

peppermint and chamomile,

sap of maple,

birch and bitters,

Loquiili makes tea.  

The Sasquatch sip

and dunk their biscuits.

The Afterglow

  The Afterglow

….

With the orb of the moon

haloed and blushing,

two Sasquatch stroll

with fingers laced.  Enticed

by the meadow’s magic

of fireflies sparking,

they pause to embrace.

….

Hungry kisses

beneath the bows of larch.

A negligee of wispy fog

on a bed of pippsissewa.

A chorus of moans….

and an owl’s screech….

eerie cries of howling wolves….

crescendo and peace.

…..
