Riddle Me This.

‘What do you fear, lady?’ he asked.
‘A cage,’ she said. ‘To stay behind bars, until use and old age accept them, and all chance of doing great deeds is gone beyond recall or desire.’
Not my genius. Prizes to whoever can tell me where this is from.

To Kiss God on His Nose.

I want t kiss God on His nose and watch Him sneeze
and so do you.
Not out of disrespect.
Out of pique.
Out of a man-to-man thing.
Anne Sexton (1928-1974), U.S. poet. “Jesus Dies.”
Mood : Angry, but thinking clearly.
You need chaos in your soul to give birth to a dancing star.
– Friedrich Nietzsche

Oui..

“Mademoiselle, est-ce que vous êtes perdue?”
Are you lost? he asks, looking at the map and me, crying over the wheel of my car.

“Oui.” Yes, yes, I say, and walk away, no particular destination in mind.

Hope

I’m happy. In the kind of smile at the world, beam at everyone kind of happy. Epiphany, thine name art joy.
No matter that I have heard this innumerable times,
Hope IS the thing with feathers –
That perches in the soul –
And sings the tune without the words –
And never stops — at all.
There is something [...]

Somebody Should Leave

I have been packing up to leave, and been getting more and more morose by the minute. Not exactly morose, but more of a dragging, heavy sense of weightiness, that says “this is done, and the next is here again”. And even as much as I have hated and ranted about this place, it has [...]

Today Is Mine

Over the past one year since I began this blog, to me it has been many things. Most of all a way to vent, and instead of trying to wear my shoes thin running to clear my head, this has been a much more fruitful and, lets face it, more energy conserving than the miles [...]

Brown

Brown is introspective, a bit afraid, a bit of dreading the future, unsure, sarcy.
A sharper tongue and more sensitive feelings than usual.
And add a nice dose of melancholy, loneliness and irritability to serve.
Brown, to differentiate from black, synonymous with anger, rage, or deep sorrow.
Or blue, synonymous with all pervasive lack of joy and happyness most [...]

One Day, One Room

Today was rather awfully bland.
Nothing happened.
Very nondescript, grey kind of day.
Dreamed a lot, that’s probably why.

Like a huge waste of time, of having done nothing, simply wasting time and energy in nothing.
Waste of space and breath and time, such an awful blip in the whole time continuum.
I’d rather [...]

…And From Sudden Death..

I was driving back to hospital campus when the accident happened.
The small road into campus opens at a 90 degree angle to the main road, and we can almost never see if any vehicle is coming into the road from the hospital courtyard. I rely on a generous use of the horn and creeping along [...]
