masks we ride rivers wide
banks staring blank, empty
ancestors begging forgiveness --
what have we done?

slipping night waters
at the edge of blood tides
moon mother moon
what have we done?

careless, that whispered jetty
rock dark, broken shore
still that heart's beating
what have we done?

    I can like and comment, I think, but you already approved me, so cool.I’m on the Ravensweald site, and I do have to click on the individual post before I reach the comment/rating place. Nice piece, by the way. You seem to be working deeper right now.

      I’m still having issues. I think it is with the core install because I took off all of the plugins (including Jetpack) and was having no end of problems with “must have had previously moderated comment approved”. I reinstalled the latest/greatest version and still have issues.

      This might work better now that I’ve toggled a few things. If you don’t mind, I’m going to delete you as a user. Jolene had no issues with comments, so I thought I was fixed earlier, but I’d like to make sure that you are not just getting through as a user of the now nonexistent forum.

      What a bother this has been.
