You ride the holy horses

My prose poem "Mari Mild" is now online at Through the Gate. It was written in April for ashlyme, strange_selkie, and the Mari Lwyd. The rest of the issue is amazing: loss, leaving, writing, remembrance. I am very glad to read it this morning before I move.

The mattress goes this afternoon, and the laptop, and the four books I've been reading these last few nights, and the last pictures and boxes of extraneous things. And then I am out of this apartment, where I moved after such headaches in March. I do not regret it.

September will be a month of limbo. I do not regret it, either.

And it's wonderful, and still makes me happy. Thank you. Good luck.

ETA: Selkie and I were talking on this subject last night. I suddenly had an image of a Mari-carousel, and I don't know if it should be drawn or written.

Today my brother, his wife, and their baby are moving, too. I hope to soon be driving out to help them. With peach pie. (Peach pie is a good way of helping. If I were nearer you, I could help you with peach pie.)

I wish you luck on this next phase of your life!

That is an awesome poem, and I love the song you used as a post title.

I'm happy for your lack of regrets.
