‘You should take better care of yourself.’

‘I tried that for a while. It wasn’t any fun.’

‘If you treat your body like a temple-eat a proper diet & exercise, then you’ll live a long life.’

‘What’s the point of living a long, boring life? I’d rather treat my body like a #bouncy house.’

The gravitational strength of the moon means that things that are not usually bouncy are bouncy, and things that are usually bouncy are now suborbital.

‘Don’t you worry that you have no goals for your life?’

‘Not really.’

‘How can you live like that?’

‘Easy. Ever think about those freakish ambitious people who climb in a #mountainous region like Everest?’

‘Yes. They had a goal. A plan.’

‘Yeah, well so did the people who died doing it.’

Feb 17 #prompt word
Approaching his #mountainous childhood home, the soldier reined in. Seven years ago he'd left with his four best friends, aiming for glory in the southern wars. Now he rode alone.
In the distance, a woman called to her child. He turned back south.

‘I had the strangest dream last night about Hawaii. We went scuba diving in an #enchanted underwater cavern.’

‘Oh yeah? Probably from that funny weed we smoked.’

‘Yeah. All the fish were glowing like crazy. Then this weird creature popped out of the cave.’

‘Gnarly.’

‘No. It was Sir Eel.’

She sat, #enchanted by wildflowers. Soft floral scents, blossoms nodding gently as if agreeing with her every thought... three bunnies in little morning suits and top hats...
-Would you like to attend a bunny wedding?
She jumped to her feet. -Yes, please!

‘First dates are so awkward. I can’t believe friends set us up.’

‘I know, right?’

‘I heard you had a warped sense of humor.’

‘I heard you don’t like long explanations.’

‘So, tell me about your life in a nutshell.’

‘Well, there’s #minuscule room to move around & it’s very dark.’

He encloses my hand in his, warmth radiating from his body to mine. It is the last time we will touch each other for five days, although we will still be side by side. I am suddenly shy as we pull on our pressure suits.

My eyes remain shut, but I'm sure that in between each #kiss, he pulls back to look at me; nothing like the fervor of our recent intimate encounters. It strikes me as tender and gentle, like young love, when in reality it's foreign, intense, and forbidden with no future.

‘Here’s your Valentine’s Day present.’

‘Books? Ohmigod, you know me so well. You get a big #kiss.’

‘Thanks. But it looks like these won’t fit anywhere.’

‘Are you suggesting I get rid of some of these?’

‘Who’s fault is it that you have too many books?’

‘I have only my shelf to blame.’

"And when he has fled - like a squirrel -
his laughter still vibrates on every leaf,
and you can see, startled by a bullfinch,
the Golden Kiss of the Wood,
gathering itself together again."

‘Huh, the word today is #lacuna.’

‘Like the beach?’

‘No, that’s Laguna. It’s like a void where something’s supposed to be. A gap. Now I have to find a way to use it in a story.’

‘Oh, that sounds easy.’

‘Really?’

‘Just write about that space in your head where your brain should be.’

‘I think my #dark sense of humor is affecting my parenting skills.’

‘Why? What happened?’

‘Well, my son is at that awkward age. He’s extremely curious & starting to ask questions about the human body.’

‘Oh, that’s a tough one.’

‘I know. Now I have to find a new place to hide it.’

Anyone else have this conversation with their kids?

‘Who broke the lamp?’

‘Not me’

‘Didn’t #touch it.’

‘So, you expect me to believe that someone broke into the house & the only thing they did was knock over this lamp?’

‘Uh…’

‘You sure about this?’

‘No. But you keep buggin’ me about it. Gives me an ear #ache.’

‘I hear other couples enjoy it.’

‘I’ll do anything to help our relationship.’

‘We should have a safe word.’

‘Ok. Meatloaf.’

‘Meatloaf?’

‘Right. Cuz I’d do anything for love - but I won’t do that.’

Through the black tangles of your heavy hair,
To plunge my aching head amorous of
Your skirts as into secret, perfumed bowers,
To breathe your scent as from pale withered flowers"

"...a fortnight dead,
Forgot the cry of gulls, and the deep sea swell
And the profit and loss.
A current under sea
Picked his bones in whispers. As he rose and fell
He passed the stages of his age and youth
Entering the whirlpool."
