Torchlight

The road forks; I pause,
see I lost my way, and wait;
but I'll not look back.

Day's End

As shadows gathered
I stood in the grieving rain,
calling the dark gods;
enough of dying embers –
let them fade to endless night.

"treasures that buckle" was by far the most read poem in October. Which I am fine with, I guess. I am happy with how it turned out. It's mostly solid.

A lot of interest in "Endorsed Neglect in the Great Plains of Nebraska" which was juvenile.

Tickle in my throat
Fingers and toes getting numb
As the north wind howls

I'm working on a book of deeply computer-related poems, each paired with a vignette. I think they fit perfectly here in Mastodon!

This time around: The humming of a ghost. Not the warmth of a body.

My warped #history.
Allowing the north wind to
tickle my fancy.
