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.

Petroglyphs North

 Bronze or Iron Age petroglyphs, in the vicinity of Skien, Norway (on a visit to Roman and Heidi Scott). Photo by JF, June 2003. Possible sun/ ship/ calendrical markings, appropriate now, close after the winter solstice.

Merry Christmas, Saturnalia, and holidays to all who partake!

Even Spring Has the Night



Even Spring Has the Night

Skin like the Thames, the Shard’s beacon yoked to the Surrealist show at the Tate Modern.
White nights on Jomfruland, goose whistled past dawn, Venus frosty above Christiania,
My hare legs in slippers, Carnatic as a stave kirk, toward Herre, Norway to yearn,
Are the kids bothering you, the canal banked no horses, “time is everything.”
Time veined the truth, out to the churchyard I waded, toward lichen we turned.
