that was what
old craggy guy
was trying to say, just
get back to the sit...

Campfire Sessions — 12apr25

It the shadows and glow of the flickering ruddy flames, he looks gaunt, grey, and emaciated as he approaches and sits down. His hair, what remains on his taut pate, is a dirty white and as withered as he — scraggly, sparse and I can see more skin than hair.

gone dust weary

abandoned and wander
she took her hand
in her hand and said
to herself she was sorry
dry rot and wormed
greywood splinted there
at the edge and waiting
fiftyfive steps from the
line cutting old growth
from pale sky feathered
wondering should he
come back to her againTo like/comment:

bed of leaves

feet tangle to fall
last lost dance in
the thin betweens
birch bark peeling
pale fog of dream
can you catch me
as i am falling
to lay me out on
this bed of leaves?To like/comment:

Eye-candy reading
Photo by Peter Herrmann on Unsplash I going to start reading something eye candy, I just haven’t decided which. Decisions can be hard when you have sleep issues like I’ve been having the past month or so.
I thought about doing another read-along, but the eye-candy element doesn’t really support discussion. I’m not talking about anything mentally deep or emotionally stimulating here. Well, one or two of my considered titles might be, but I don’t think it takes a masters degree in literature to decipher. Or even an AA degree.
Books I have on hand and I am considering:
- Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, Phillip K Dick (a reread)
- The Complete Witcher Saga (all the books), Andrzej Sapkowski (a reread except the last two available titles)
- The Black Company, Glen Cook (first of 12 books, unread yet, combined editions are available)
- Snow Crash, Neal Stephenson (I can’t recall if I read it)
- Neuromancer, William Gibson (a reread, but have totally forgotten)
I’m leaning towards either of the Witcher and Black Company series; the first to remind myself of the events surrounding the cannon lore around Ciri in prep for Witcher 4 (or Witcher 1 remake), the latter because I am feeling all grimdark. But the others are tempting tales too.
Maybe I’m just lacking in sleep, which makes anyone surly. Or maybe I’m naturally surly and the lack of sleep removes the mask. I was hoping eye-candy might ameliorate some of the darkness leaking out.
Of the above, which would you be most inclined to read? Quick quick, hurry hurry.
