"I have seen days without wood or coal for fire. I have seen days without tea for pot or butter for bread. I have not seen a day without some wild wonder or the comfort of a half-glimpsed ghost." - #CLNolan (via @HooklandGuide)
"Sacred Space
Honey rests rapt by the altar statue
while I uproot bunches of tall grass
lift up venerable pavers
A charcoal snake races away
frogs hop reluctantly
displaced from their sacred space
by landscape cloth, blocks, gravel
The animals will return
disturbed and unappreciative of
severe serenity for the sage
flanked by elephant ears
and overseen by vertical pupils"
--Clark Pomerleau, Better Living Through Cats (2021)
