all the exhaustion
of manufactured hope
caught up with me today
i have no good words tonight
only a tired mind
a battered soul
a broken heart
but spine intact
i look at what is
determined to emerge
imperfect as i am
from this fog in one piece
to see the sun again

but still you’re stained
with a riverbed of salt
where every heartache happens
in places no one can see

with a riverbed of salt
swirling away but not forgotten
in places no one can see
you stand in the shower’s hot gush

decoding

no matter the hour
the heart illuminates what lives
between light and shadow

save your hapless words
there is no hiding there

It was never about “free health care for illegals.” This is always what it was about. They have no intention of “fixing” the ACA, they intend to defund it.

During the First World War, Louis and Antoinette Thuillier created thousands of glass negatives containing photographs of soldiers. The digitized images are astonishingly clear: you can read the date of a newspaper folded on a lap. http://nyer.cm/74Hzfpm
