If a storm should come and wake the deep, what matters? I shall ride and sleep
My poem "Dive" has been accepted by Not One of Us. It was written last month after a late night at Waypoint with a drink made with squid ink mezcal. I have had an eye-crunching headache all day and this was very pleasant news.
I was talking politics with my father tonight, because that happens a lot with politics being as they are these days. Context was the number of lawmakers in the country currently terrified of women, queer people, people of color, non-Christians, because obviously each of these demographics is apocalypse personified and God knows what happens if you cross the streams: "What can I tell you?" my father said. "You're really scary. You got a nuke in each pocket, you got the sickle of Death in your hand, you got that witch doll you left at the house—" I feel like I may have turned into a Tarot card. It's hard to be upset by that.
I still have the eye-crunching headache and I have to get up in six hours in order to make sure of catching the requisite buses to a doctor's appointment, so I'm just going to leave (courtesy of![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)

I hope your head feels better.

Thank you!
I hope your head feels better.
The headache did not break as I had hoped, but I made to the doctor's on time and have spent a chunk of the afternoon writing (albeit with microscopic slowness), so things are definitely improved.
