The fly her spleen, the little sparks their heat;

The slender hairs cast shadows, though but small,

You Darkness


You Darkness, from which I come,
I love you more than all the fires that fence out the world.


Because the fires make a circle of light
so that no one can see you any more.

There Is A Road Always Beckoning



There is a road
always
beckoning.

When you see
the two sides

"A lot of work" is right, Zeno. It's part of the reason Waccobb is closing down.

As You Have Done for Me




There is treasure in you.
Joi Sharp

The Facts of Life 


That you were born
and you will die.


That you will sometimes love enough
and sometimes not.

Blessed Are You Who Bear the Light


Blessed are you
who bear the light
in unbearable times,
who testify
to its endurance
amid the unendurable,
who bear witness

I will really miss your humor picks too, Barry - the humor was always the "dessert" of WaccoBB so thank you for all the years of finding and posting those!

Is it better to be mean spirited in response to a post you don't agree with, or better to just ignore it? Our responses show more than we realize.

I'd recommend patience, too. I know several counties felt a bit blind-sided by this and don't think they have enough vaccine or even the infrastructure to distribute it.
Probably best to wait and...

When Barcelona fell, the darkened glass
turned in the world and immense ruinous gaze,
mirror of prophecy in a series of mirrors.
I meet it in all the faces that I see.

Twilight in Hendy Woods


This is the hour of magic
When this world and the other world
Touch in a lingering kiss
And a deep stillness settles over all things.
