Ten seconds of autumn.

That's one inhalation and exhalation. You've got time for that.

Three points.

1) Artists impress the hell out of me.
2) This is the kind of fierce feline energy I need in the world.
3) Yes, if it sprang to life, a VERY dumb part of me would want to cuddle it.

I can't control the world.

But at least I can cradle a stunned Eastern Wood Pewee until it's ready to fly again.

This juvenile flew into a window.

I heard the thump, ran out, and scooped it up, out of the reach of the dogs.

It might sound like rain falling on the overstory.

Somewhere, it is National Black Cat Day, apparently.

Here, it's Black Cat Day every moment of every single day.

I started the book in 2019, answering the question, "What if?"

Quickly, the question has morphed:

"What now?"

Cynda hides in the Appalachian wilds until freedom fighter Kadija tracks her down, asking her to face her past:

A research institute
hurting the vulnerable.

They journey into a dystopian world, the ties that bind them drawing them closer.

But what happens if those delicate ties ever break?

That's the great thing about poetry. The soul is always writing it. Sometimes, the hand must catch up.
