About Me

My photo
Adalbert is a forum for me, to post ephemera, photography, poetry, occasional travel notes, and various spontaneous motions. Cover photo: Parsonage where my great-grandfather spent his early years. Taken near Liegnitz, Silesia, ca. 1870. The "xothique" portion of the web address is a nod to Clark Ashton Smith's fictional continent of Zothique.

Know Ghoti

 
 

 
 

Brine Grasses

 

River music evokes sand, by the ocean's lip seashell sounds Clark.

Same sound curtains sinus, time thousand years ago as now, past.

The sea doesn’t change discernably, magnetic fields cloud the dunes, ley lines compassing solitude. 

The salt boilers of Killamook head, diagonal distance as a sudden mist storm tacks my glasses, hound and yelp screaming, Ceslaus force against the waves.  Eye white juggling columbarium pharos, gossip kelp brink. Good salt in the buckets, no iodine,

mildewed blowhole from nostalgic pelagian, pivot from the slop of bay.
