    like wild horses
    before the storm
    here comes the
    turning away

    we have heard all
    those plots before and
    i am caring less
    what your gods
    have to say

    i unbind knots
    that blind stained eyes
    and give over to both
    the bone and the stone

    crashing down
    like a waterfall
    when comes the
    turning away

    i slumber the under
    with gut pull drag
    forgetting all names
    i am tired, so will you
    hold me tonight?

    and when i
    stop making sense
    growing fungal
    to the loam
    bury me inside and
    hold me tonight

    deadwood and memories
    howling to driven
    let the rain come
    falling and just
    hold me tonight

  • the badb

    The Badb card from the “Oracle of the Morrigan” card deck
    we old crow frenzy
    leaving trails of scarlet
    trailing off in fresh fallen snow
    standing tall of stone north
    we are not your sacrifice
    we are not your country
    we are flint & steel

    battle cry & cauldron
    we stand of october
    swinging blackthorn
    without an ounce of fear

    Disclosure: My use of those tools most often associated with divination are largely as randomized writing prompts, often with the intent of personal alchemy. They are not intended to be representative of traditional divinatory practice. My personal interpretations (and methods) will likely not agree with those found in popular culture.

  • Torture, pt 3

    Well, you knew there was going to be more to this drama. The mouth pain fading off with the sunset was never an option.

    As of Saturday, my mouth was tender on the left side, but improving on a daily basis. I was all ready to blame my enflamed gums resultant from flossing and brushing malpractice by the owner (me) for my mouth hurting. Gradual improvements with diligent flossing and brushing supported the idea.

    I ate breakfast on Saturday and went to one of those wholesale clubs to stock up on food. One of the things I like to pick up as a diabetic’s alternative to candy are nuts to snack on when I feel a little peckish. So I picked up a variety while I was shopping to have around.

  • Leaving on a jet plane

    I haven’t heard John Denver’s song in multiple decades (until today) and yet… It comes to mind for whatever reasons such things come to mind when I started to think about my impending road trip beginning about midweek. It doesn’t even fit with the theme in which the song was thought to be written for, which is generally how these things work. I’m not going off war, nor standing outside the door of a young beau looking for a last kiss before I leave, and I plan to be back home by the end of next week (so I know when I’ll be back again).
