I am not okay today.
So, in the absences of okay,
what else can I be?
I can be gentle.
I can be unashamed.
I can turn my pain into stillness.
I can be awake to nature.
I can sharpen my empathy
against the stone of discomfort.
I am not okay,
but I am many worthy things.
- Leaf Litter by Jarod K. Anderson

In the Desert by Stephen Crane.
(again, sorry).
In the desert
I saw a creature, naked, bestial,
Who, squatting upon the ground,
Held his heart in his hands,
And ate of it.
I said, ‘Is it good, friend?’
‘It is bitter — bitter,’ he answered;
‘But I like it
Because it is bitter,
And because it is my heart.’

Though ravens are strongly linked to the Tower of London, the association may not go back further than Victorian times, when some beefeaters started keeping the birds as pets. Ravens became popular pets thanks to Edgar Allan Poe's famous poem. The idea some misfortune will occur if the ravens leave the Tower seems to have emerged about 1900 and the notion their departure will result in the kingdom falling doesn't seem to predate World War II. However, medieval Welsh legend says that the severed - though still talkative - head of the hero Bran the Blessed was buried on nearby Tower Hill, facing out towards Europe as a talisman against invasion. The name Bran translates as 'raven'. #FairytaleTuesday #folklore #gothic #mythology #poem #poems #poetry #poets #history #London #weird

[from the sloppy journal]
Gitchi-gami, From Croftville
Thunderstorm fades into darkness
crashing waves mellow with age
Dawn reveals a textured surface—
rag watercolor paper
Absorbing.
Reflecting.
Orangy-purple, red, blue, steel-grey
The colors undulate and rearrange
painting a September day.

The ballet danced in secret
on a darkly rippled stage
lives more fully in the night
when cloaking fog and shadow
set free the primal artists.

Sonnet 103 - CIII
Alack! what poverty my Muse brings forth,
That having such a scope to show her pride,
The argument all bare is of more worth
Than when it hath my added praise beside!
O! blame me not, if I no more can write!
Look in your glass, and there appears a face
That over-goes my blunt invention quite,
Dulling my lines, and doing me disgrace.
Were it not sinful then, striving to mend,
To mar the subject that before was well?
For to no other pass my verses tend
Than of your graces and your gifts to tell;
And more, much more, than in my verse can sit,
Your own glass shows you when you look in it.
