snowless streets
Santa Claus passing
a mask protecting



Sometimes we have some snow here in SW-corner of Finland - now none.
Covid-19 we have here, too.

without a mask
prudish moon sails
passing the virus

peeping at the window -

September wind --
behind those clouds
an autumn?

seawater level

somewhere thirsty people

standing in white snow

Visited my friend again.
This picture is from his cottage by Deatnu.

Deatnu, lappish, meaning The Big River. In Finnish Teno.

mosquitoes, I
awake, sweating at night...
haunted morning



We just visited my mother-in-law (93 years).
Eastern Finland (Ilomantsi & Lake Koitere).
Two last days, or nights, were occupied by some angry mosquitos...


Ps2:
Usually I don't use so many dots in so short texts, but here I had to.

In the blue sky
not any single clouds --
dusty wind



This is from my old notebook eleven years ago.
Saved this text, here is one possible version:

closed door
keeping the dusts outside -
this fierce wind

Snowflakes ...
as mosquitoes
in the summer

             watching

to wake up earlier



Merry Christmas

a Cheerful New Year!

summer holiday -
vileness by the lake
& bright sun

Global Freezing

Finland, and some parts of Europe, got a long and cold spring.

Coldest for a hundred years, they say.

Continuous jet streams directly from north Pole area.

I'm calling this climate as a Global Freezing.





trying to sleep --
a cold polar airstream
not willing to
