Perchance to Dream
Sunday, January 1st, 2023
I’ve neglected my online home for a slew of reasons; the absence made my heart sore.
The sky is clear tonight, the Moon, Mars and Jupiter burn brightly near the beacons of Orion and his faithful hounds. A sight that lends me strength to tackle the New Year.
Pity is not your forte.
Calmly you ache up there
pinned aloft in your crow’s nest,
my speechless pirate!
— from Orion, by Adrienne Rich
