quiet night, safe, serene,
anger passed thru candlelight,
wax meant to contain
feeds the wick,
fuels the flame
scented truth rise… waft… fly

Words to bask in for a bit.

Not only does the ground offer a much delighted in freedom of will...

The ground will allow us to walk off a cliff to our deaths.

Keeping warm on day 22 of #ChemAdvent 🔥

Winter fire smells come from smoky syringol and guaiacols.

Herring under a fur coat doesn't actually involve a fur coat, but a layer of beetroot and vegetables over pickled herring

absorb the humid air, while
my breath suffocates,
your alien glow comforts
in my struggle to survive

birds: chirp me awake,
chitter it's lunchtime
tweet the vesper hour,
sing me to sleep,
happily peck my dead eyes out,
poop me with seeds,
rest on new branch growth,
lifelong pals these birds,
and beyond

It's playing cards with the hand you were dealt.
