in the holy fanfare of summer's launch
deer have begun to eat my flowers
ants--like anxiety--crawl up
today a rainstorm teaches me new music
drums up a calmer beat, hushes me
I'm sentimental, yet not expert
can you tell me to come in, in welcome
I'll hold my eye open for you
like the maw of a beast
Pic and notes: A family of geese "going somewhere" although I don't know where. Like this poem. Like the current scramble of instability--trying to figure out how Nu can finish the last week of school from the hospital; trying to read between the lines when At calls to say he's fine after being in a car accident but his car will be towed.

I'm sorry to hear Nu is still in the hospital. I know that's stressful. North was in and out of the hospital during the summer of 2020 and the very beginning of that school year and it was awful. I hope he's back home soon.
I did not know Nu was in hospital still. Get well wishes your way.
Thank you, StephLove and Gillian.
Gillian--It has been difficult to experience, think/talk about. StephLove, I find myself thinking of North and feeling hope for Nu too.
Thanks again.
