Beaver Moon
Beaver Moon. 4:45 & 5:04 am, November 15, 2021. 43° F, feels like 36° F. Gusty. Cove Island Park, Stamford, CT.
The longest partial lunar eclipse in 580 years. Thank you Lori for tuning me in.
like a cold gem against dark velvet…
There was a full moon outside and it was the only peaceful thing they had seen all day.
It shone with an impassive beauty, like a cold gem against dark velvet, not at all interested in the human pain down below.

Walking. With Tu Fu.
53° F. 5:59 a.m. Thursday, October 21st.
Cove Island Park walk @ daybreak.
534 (almost) consecutive mornings. Like in a row.
I walk. Sort of.
One hour before sunrise. Deep in the Twilight Zone.
When One just can’t leave well enough alone, One pays. Advil PM & Tylenol PM have worked for 10+ years. Man Child thinks he could save a few bucks with Amazon’s private label “Basic Care Sleep Aid” tablets. Teeny, tiny, blue egg shell pills. I mean tiny. How much damage can they possibly do?
And so here we are.

But it’s a full 2 hours later.
World is spinning.

Spring Night
The few minutes of a Spring night are worth ten thousand pieces of gold.
The perfume of the flowers is so pure.
The shadows of the moon are so black.
