Tell me where I am.
You’re on this ball, circling
shown the universe in every direction.

“Find a line which resonates [with] you. Use that as your starting point and carry on from there.”

Somewhere, right now, a hawk by Carl Phillips

I’m a song, changing. I’m a light
rain falling through a vast

floorless, more or less
still space, falling faster; slower
than you were, on other days
towards hope towards dreams
towards your smiles on arrival.

Hospitals

Me: *pointing to 40 year old phone* Is that a working phone?
Facilities Manager: *picks up phone* No.
Me: Why is there a nonworking phone 
        in the morgue?
Facilities Manager: I don’t know.

Later, in the boiler room

Facilities Manager: Look, another phone!
Me: Does it work?
Facilities Manager: *picks up phone* No.

RN: You took a picture of me?!
Me: Yup.
RN: Please delete it. I don’t want it out there.
Me: Out where?
RN: The Internet.
Me: *tap*tap*tap* Okay, do you want me to 
        destroy you or do you want to do it.
RN: It won’t DESTROY me.
Me: *aiming phone* You don’t know that.

RN: He does weird things in the bathroom.
Me: Like what?
RN: He masturbates in there.
Me: (thinking) You don’t masturbate?
Pt: *leaving bathroom* Aaah!
Me: Feeling better?
Pt: Yup. More relaxed.
Me: Uh, you washed your hands, right?

RN1: Which one of these pill crushers

An abscess of delight(s)

Thanks Katie ;)

The guttural as if straight
from the gut sound of ‘huh’
my five year old makes
before acts of acrobatics

On a road, heading East
to a destination
free
in my moment

The snow out of the hoses
frosts those trees just fine

The pain went away like mist
in the cold shower and in it
I found the inexplicable funny
with strength like a byproduct

Chronicles of Aeld

Hear Ye: Common Era, Age of Goat; Mabon
Lewis (of the Isle of Lewis) was seen emerging from the cold Agglehorn Sea.
Some have said he is the 13th Death Knight.

Hear Ye: Common Era, Age of Goat; Mabon
The Toad is now in possession of the Sword of Fear.
Bellows, and cooperative fiefs, have been declared officially safe.
Everything is going to be fine.

Saving Daylight

I promise! beyond this late afternoon
towards the sun, setting behind trees
I will toast the oncoming darkness
and welcome the earth.

For now, the warm light still shines
bright in my eyes, right in my eyes.
