I learned today
of the lacrimal lake,
the eye's
pool of tears
that gather
before they drain
spill over

It's meant
to be measured
in microlitres
perhaps one day
science will
understand why
this lacrimal ocean
is instead measured
in teralitres,
drowning the world
with emotional salt

Raise your hand if you think library workers deserve a little treat 🙋
#LibrarySky 💙📚

The heart of this star is
dense, blinding,
sustaining, beloved,
superheated
You owe me nothing,
yet offer me
all that is yours to offer
I accept all your gifts
into my center,
burn
ever hotter and brighter,
engulf
the entire cosmos in our light

on my tongue)

(meowing "I love you"s
at the cats)
I thought of you
(turning down
the bedsheets)
I thought of you
I thought of you
I thought of you

Well dang if I'd waited 3 days my first two posts would've been exactly a year apart. Oh well. The motivation to jump ship from hell sites was now

Wish me luck: at a system wide meeting today, I am going to propose moving forward with inventory a year early (i.e., in a month) due to tech incidents. Will they be resigned to it, or will there be mutiny? 🤞

Perks of clearing the firepit in the woods: many snails, daddy long legs, roly polys, and centipedes to admire (and then safely relocate)
