On this night, sleep is in want of accoutrements to buy its acquiescence. At best, though, it is cumulative and marked by awakenings in cold sparkles of pain. Sensing a summons, the somnolent cat comes, lends its warmth and the balm of its lullaby purr.

Across the face of the blown-up moon, a thing with headlights flies. In a desperate search for a dish and a spoon, and a cat with a fiddle, besides. When all of a suddle, a sight to befuddle- it spotted a magical cow. ‘Twas taking a rest from its jumping, i guess (an impossible thing until now)

Daguerreotype is the day, ancient as I drive. Beside me she is a ghost, and I can't speak to the veil- the closed idiom of her soul. Or I am the ghost and have simply lost the language to this often-paved way.

I was lost (a recurring theme) in a strange city of night. The cat within my jacket a proxy for my love. It wanted away, but I would not let it. In the dream-within-a-dream, there came a shuffling from upstairs...the shiny soles of old slippers. How did we get here...here to these meandered endings?

~ And there was the moon, like a bilious balloon. She was sheeted in linens of heavenly loom. That ghostly attendant of summer entombed. That spirit ascendant, that prophet of doom. ~ #poem

Dear humans, Just wanted to share something I've been quiet about, in the year of my loud self-doubt, with gratitude to @sarabandebooks.bsky.social and to many others whom I look forward to thanking in the coming months, MY HERESIES, forthcoming in April 2025.🖤 www.sarabandebooks.org/all-titles/p...

PSA for cat owners in the US: cats have been contracting H5N1 (bird flu). They are very susceptible to it and the fatality rate for cats is 67%. To avoid it: -keep your cats indoors. They can catch it from infected birds and mice. -do not feed them raw dairy -do not feed them raw meat

~The moon slides down into dizzy vision, a bright dime in deepening blue. Along the street of home, straggling snow in sleepy silence. Rising chimney smoke is breezeless, straight and true.~ #poetry

Returned from the wars of the world, he lay liminal in the bed of his childhood, his one- time chest of drawers towering like a hymn. # poetry

Chatter all done. Only bloodstream melodies now. Life defaults to a sphere... a bubble bound for high sky. #poetry

We are all just a car crash, a diagnosis, an unexpected phone call, a newfound love or a broken heart away from becoming a completely different person. How beautifully fragile are we that so many things can take but a moment to alter who we are for forever? -Samuel Decker Thompson

~Small world~ She watches, bemused...then walks away as I keep up the stirring of the hot pot of milk and cocoa. I covet that clunk of spoon, milk-muted, because of a dream in which each of my teeth is tapped with a tuning fork. Like a drip on a hot burner, I make myself into a very small world.

My hope for you is that you always feel safe and warm, and that you will someday find yourself surrounded by wild Muppets in the heart of the forest, with plenty of wine & books and without a care in the world.

The water in your body is just visiting. It was a thunderstorm a week ago. It will be the ocean soon enough. Most of your cells come and go like morning dew. We are more weather pattern than stone monument. Sunlight on mist. Summer lightning. Your choices outweigh your substance. #poetry

~ Ray ban ~ Secret and silent- the cold crackle of air with soft sparkles of gamma. Opens my garage, changes my channels, excites the pocket monolith. Away I want, I think. Away. #poetry

This one night, we follow a skinny fox. Old Robot reckons tamed, I say lonely. She crosses this glimmery bridge over a longago road. Waits for us so moonlit beautiful. Old Robot whispers, too much fairytale. Trolls hide under bridges I say, hey, I made a wish, let's take our chances. #vss365

~Her death...it didn't seem possible. We felt that it had to be just a dry run for the real thing. Denial was rampant, and we ran around in clouds of tears.~

They come quietly the first soft names of winter, sunlight on silk threads and the tenderness of decay frost #sightseeing the hunger of wild things where the worms make a rune in the mud bone and socket warnings in all the sticks and all the stones and the meaningless sorrow of tiny bones #vss365

It’s not the dollars you drop in my hat or the way you smell of soap or your knitted hat or the coffee with cream I can smell on your mouth when you whisper god bless it’s the way you press the bills into my hand the only time a man like me feels any touch it’s all of that #poetry
