All great truths begin as blasphemies.

There is nothing to read here. The content is over there, to your right.
I may, however, at some point, put something here. Some day. Eventually. No pressure.

17 years. Today marks 17 years that I've been with M. That's a full half of my life.
How.. weird.
I'll deal with that another time.
After Years
Today, from a distance, I saw you
walking away, and without a sound
the glittering face of a glacier
slid into the sea. An ancient oak
fell in the Cumberlands, holding only
a handful of leaves, and an old woman
scattering corn to her chickens looked up
for an instant. At the other side
of the galaxy, a star thirty-five times
the size of our own sun exploded
and vanished, leaving a small green spot
on the astronomer's retina
as he stood on the great open dome
of my heart with no one to tell.

Happy Valentine's Day.
Or Happy Single's Awareness Day.
Either or, whichever you prefer.
