Departure.

Only two responsibilities pulling in opposite directions.
One asks you to stay.
The other asks you to leave.
And both with painfull consequences.

#WritersCoffeeClub Jun. 26 – Have you ever included subtle (or unsubtle!) homage? Tell us about it.

The title of my upcoming short story, Between One Word and the Next, is a homage to the philosophy behind the phonetics of #Hangul, the writing of the Korean language. The Explication of Letter Formation (制字解) begins, translation very idiosyncratically mine:

天地之道，一陰陽五行而已。坤復之間爲太極，而動靜之後爲陰陽。

“The way of Heaven and Earth is but the Yin-Yang and Wuxing. Between silence and sound the Profound Polarity is born; and after movement and stillness Yin and Yang arise.”

For maximal chaos, King Sejong the founder of Hangul is in fact in the story (the events take place 7 years before the promulgation of Hangul) but not as a hero or main character; the mains are illiterate enslaved women in love with each other because of course.

Jake's Flea Market 13h ago

those west faced

those west faced
walls of masonry and brickwork

that all wednesday were
damp darkened by rain wash

through all the hours of sunrise
today
those housefronts and market
stalls were shadow tinted

but now that sunless hue recedes
down those walls like a tide

now those walls are sunlight shaded
like mortar like mud at midday

go to that dark monastery where i live
and i’ll pay for your daily bread

walk like one who knows
the time between the shades is short

In 19th-century Ireland, a disillusioned doctor and a woman living on the margins of society cross paths in a city shaped by hardship and tradition.

The Fitzgeralds of Dublin series is a sweeping Irish family saga exploring loyalty, resilience, and choices that echo across generations.
