Tickles Jake’s Fancy

Timothy Price28 Comments

Pre-dawn

Venus

Tuumbleweeds hardened
Walking levees at twilight
Tickles Jake’s fancy

Dawn

Puddles on the paths

Still dawn

Spunk

Almost sunset

With the rains comes the need to repair the culvert that we use to drive over the drainage ditch. I went into my one-man chain gang mode and filled in the holes caused by the rainwater ponding on the culvert. I paused to take a few photos as the sun was setting.

Sunset

Tired of Wired

Cranes flew over our Cuckoo’s Nest at dawn

Sunset through the finer wire on the Sally Port

Cats don’t close the door
Gotta keep the birds inside
Had to add fine wire

Smoking hutch

Daddy Longlegs

Cows in the dusty dusk

Sliver Moon with jet and contrail

Steaming hot mushrooms

Spunk worn out after boxing books

Black Lace Trees at sunset

Wañusqakunamanta*
By Timothy Price

Sacrificed
To the gods
Drown in the madness of his name

Smell of the dead
And their sins
Of the dead and their sins
Of the dead and their sins

Take me, take me on a boat to see Arkos
I can’t feel the sea on Arkos

Embrace the truth
And shake us free
Make us free to rise in the end

Meet a person
Of great heart
In custody to persevere

But the devil’s in the way
Yes, the devil’s in the way
Why’s the devil’s in the way

He digs down to the core
To the flesh
And
To the bones

V for Venus

Cranes couldn’t care less

Osric Owl doesn’t give a hoot

Sandias @ the Beach

*Wañusqakunamanta is “Of the Dead” in Quechua. I have been working on the song for a long time. Originally named Weird DST, I wrote the song intending to use it for my 2024 Daylight Savings Time protest song. The idea behind the asynchronization between the metered drums and bass and the unmetered guitar was to simultaneously feel in and out of time. I tried to make the lyrics as strange as the music. I didn’t post it on DST this year because I didn’t finish it in time for the time change. Given the state of the election, I took another look at the song and decided I might as well use it to make a statement about the 2024 election.

A Whiter Shade of Pale

Teagan is warning young lovers, Tim and Laurie, to escape from the sinister circus before they too become a whiter shade of pale — Teagan Riordain Genevien.

Teagan had the idea for her and me to collaborate on a Halloween-themed music video. We chose “A Whiter Shade Of Pale” by Procol Harem. Teagan produced wonderful images of herself, Laurie, and me for me to use in the video, and she sounds great, as always. She wrote a really cool story to go with the video that you can read on her accompanying post at https://wp.me/p30Tpb-9R4.
