This poem speaks to the immense losses and grief of ME and Long COVID, that all but snuff out last embers of dreams. And to dreams still faintly burning.

ID: Missing I know most of me has gone missing. I feel parts of me slip beyond my grasp each day. Brain fog cuts sentences to confused silences. But I am still here. Even if some days just faintly breathing behind a thin cage of skin, waiting, dreaming, dreaming of being me, again.]

The next project looms...
Here's a teaser - a little snap of me on a shoot with the fabulous Maxine Silver @maxinesilverphotography.
Any excuse for me to get my glam on of course, but this is for something really rather special.
More to follow!

Paired Poem:
Sun Fades in Autumn,
& Into Darkness We Do Tread...
But Glorious Be the Colors,
& Light of Truth Guides Instead.
Photo & poem by Ashley Anne Strobridge #JanuArty
An autumn scene of golden and brilliant orange foliage covered trees, the striking colors contrasting their dark trunks and branches. The trees reach out over a dirt road lined with fallen leaves, and leading to a golden opening at the end of the tunnel where sunlight shines directly upon the trees beyond.

The schizophrenic queer

The pride parade goes on without me.
My crazy brain cannot attend.
Hallucinations spiral.
The schizophrenic queer.
Pride is a protest.
But no access.
Do I fit.
Crazy.
Pride.

Poem contained in #AltText / #VisualDescription

#Eclipse #GreatNorthAmericanEclipse #Moon

#DisabledPhotographer #NaturePhotograhy #AccessibleArt #DisabledArtist #DisabledPoet
A composite photo of the Great North American Eclipse, with the three photos in one. There are three eclipse images of the moon covering the sun, arranged descending from upper left to lower right, spaced equidistant from one another, in a sea of black sky. In the upper left, there is a "diamond ring effect" image with a silver circle of light glowing around the edge of the black moon, and a globe of bright light from the sun peeking through from behind the edge of the moon in the upper left hand corner of the ring of light defining tge edges of the Eclipse. The center image is of the total Eclipse, with glowing white light shooting off in all directions from behind the pitch black moon, as well as some glowing red slightly visible flame offshoots around the edges of the black moon. The final image, in the bottom right-hand corner of the overall image, is of another "diamond ring effect" image, which is the exact same photo as in tge upper left hand corner, but rotated so that tge glowing orb representing the diamond in the ring is on the bottom right hand portion of the image. These 3 images are pulled together seamlessly in a single pitch black sky to create a kind of time-lapse photo effect of the April 2024 Eclipse. The photo was taken in Montpelier Vermont. Accompanying Goddess of the Moon poem, by Ashley Anne Strobridge, author and photographer of this piece: Where Night Meets Day, & Darkness Envelopes the Sun. An obscure embrace, extinguishing Light, if only for a moment, as the Moon Goddess subdues The Mighty Sun. Birds nest, deer bed, as we gaze in awed veneration upon the Goddess of the Night. Enrobed in her new midnight gown, she shakes off the silvery dew of starshine in diamond droplets at her hem. As the Sun awakens, the Moon Goddess retires yet again to the nebulous sea of endless sky before us.

The Mother Tree for #JauArty day 30 #Green.

Accompanying #poem as an Easter Egg in #AltText / #VerbalDescription

#DisabledArtist #DisabledPoet #DisabledPhotographer #WomenInTheArts #Crones #WiseWomen #Elders #Poetry #NatureWriting #NaturePhotography #NaturePoetry
A photo of an ancient, gnarly tree, roots exposed, with a dark, partially hollowed-out trunk. The elder tree is surrounded by much younger trees, with bright green foliage, sprouting around her. The elder tree’s dark hues are in stark contrast to the brilliant light of the younger trees in the background. Accompanying Poem: The Mother Tree In her youth, a tree has many friends & neighbors, brothers & sisters, all chattering together in the wind. As she ages, she stands taller, spreads wider, learns to take up space, finding her unique voice, taking her rightful place as a confident, powerful Mother Tree. She helps young trees, aids elders & the injured, sharing resources & communicating through the mycorrhizal fungi that embrace & support her roots, creating community, ecosystems, & echoing the universal connections that surround us. As she grows, she says goodbye to old friends, outlives brothers & sisters, sees bright new generations sprout up around her wizened, greying frame. She is home to the feathered & furry forest dwellers. She is ancient but Mighty. She has stories to tell. Listen. Written and Photographed by Ashley Anne Strobridge

I didn’t write Ink, Blood, and Prayer to be pretty.
I wrote it because I was bleeding and needed somewhere to put it.
This is for the ones who relapsed
