a small poem ☔️

Morning Walk After Night Rain
In the early morning, life resets and feels possible again.
The sky is entirely mine to peel at the edges and adhere
to whatever I don't wish to look at: my murky reflection, a Halloween lawn decoration deflated by heavy winds,
potholes in the road. The truth is, I don't miss you. I miss the idea of you: the only part of you that wouldn't stick.
--sarah mills

I forget what I wanted to
mean to you.
I forget what I
meant to give to you, that I haven’t.

When I saw thick mist this morning, I grabbed my camera and ran for the door. I staked out this pylon for about an hour. The sun was trying to shine through the mist, which produced this unusual glow!

The blur of a speeding car passes a pylon and a telegraph pole while the morning sun lights up the mist from behind

Nobody has Long COVID, but everybody has brain fog, cognitive decline and memory loss. I talk about the overwhelming scientific evidence that COVID damages the brain, and the overwhelming social unwillingness to acknowledge it in my latest:

When Will the Lion Concern Himself

Joking memes make light of the uncomfortable reality: everyone's got a little of that post-COVID brain damage these days

so many of my problems can be traced back to the fact that we didn’t get a second season of my so called life

College nostalgia. My single dorm that I decorated with art posters and printed copies of my favorite poems. My Shakespeare seminar. That humanities professor who used too many syllables when he pronounced “human beings.” My art history class. Blue book exams. Fall strolls through campus.
