In response to complaints about the fact I’m too busy this week to blog.  On my fridge for the last couple of months has been this dark offering that seems a propos at the moment:

Boy drives car.
Earth moves,
explodes.
Crushed leg and arm
blood
red water
bitter juice.
Scream to sky.
Take hold of the moon.

.
Leave ache
behind.

.

.

I like the ambivalence of the ending.  I was thinking of people left behind, but I see that it could read another way…

    Very graphic and emotional. Beautiful even though dark, but that is life. I’ve just had opportunity to look at your blog — so much for me to learn! Thank you for liking and following by blog.
