A Prayer for January Dawn
January dawn,
Grant us your
Creeping light,
Cold empty sky,
Sharp morning air.
Let the crow sing
Her love song
January dawn,
Let me rest in
Festive memory,
The coming sun,
The hearth's warmth,
Stories of spring,
Dreams of summer.

Silence of stone.
Field stone
Summer light.
Dry wind
Heat.
Lost now.
Forgotten.
Gone.

Gulls breathe salt voice,
Hammers rolling beat.
Shore cliff brittle,
Gulls breathe, distant call.

A very interesting article from The Atlantic. If you haven't read it, it's worth a read. It's not behind a pay wall.

Respect to @anntelnaes.bsky.social for quitting the Washington Post due to censorship over her on-point cartoon. More of this from artists and writers, please. Don't obey in advance, especially to the broligarchy.

I closed my X account today, and all joking aside, I think it is evil and is being used to control people on all sides for the benefit of the very few.
