Pretty sure the only thing keeping the Earth from tilting off its axis is the little chirp of songbirds in the snow outside my window.

You sleep with your head balled up in its dreams.

- C. D. Wright, "Hotels"

In the semidark we take everything off,
love standing, inaudible; then we crawl into bed.
You sleep with your head balled up in its dreams,
I get up and sit in the chair with a warm beer,
the lamp off. Looking down on a forested town
in a snowfall I feel like a novel — dense
and vivid, uncertain of the end — watching
the bundled outlines of another woman another man
hurrying toward the theater’s blue tubes of light.

ah, yes, autocorrect. that’s the word I meant.

autocorrect suggests “uncorruptobel” as a substitute for “incorruptible”

Mao and the Sparrows

Winter farmland sunset. A grainy landscape featuring a hilltop snow covered field, a silhouetted tree-line and distant valley. The nearly set peachy-orange sun paints the sky.

Got one of those brilliant midnight thoughts, hurriedly scribbled it on a sticky note, woke up and it just said:

the world is my oyster cracker & I am
its soup

1Q84, Haruki Murakami

Komatsu raised the hand that had a cigarette tucked between the fingers.
"Think of it this way, Tengo. Your readers have seen the sky with one moon in it any number of times, right? But I doubt they've seen a sky with two moons in it side by side. When you introduce things that most readers have never seen before into a piece of fiction, you have to describe them with as much precision and in as much detail as possible. What you can eliminate from fiction is the description of things that most readers have seen."
