Lady, Flying

 


Or so it may seem.

Flying, falling.

The eye quickly shifts the picture: cat reclining atop table or some such.

That momentary pause before the shift, that's art, that's literary, in the disturbance of expectation and obvious reality. 

A silly claim?

Still counts.



Mugshot: End of 2023

 


A more positive selfie than 2023 has yielded before.

Not sure why.

The death of Captain recently, not to mention other losses earlier, makes the end of anything difficult, much less an annual accounting.

Kublai Khan.

Beware, beware.

"The Salt of Absence"

 


"The salt of absence

The honey of memory"

-- from Scottish poet Norman MacCaig



Farewell, Captain

 Your final roll call.

Four years you've fought cancer, but the disease has proved too strong.

Rest in peace, my pal.
