In night's deep, when even wind had blown out scared to howl, a long tentacle protruded out of water, knocking like a rent man. I was ready, reaching to grip my weapon - jerking ammunition through the window. Sighing 'you funny creep' to the waggling rump of swan.

Black, white, blue - bouncing like a yo-yo over sleek kestrel wings. Then a tar glossy spinner - a crow, outcasting. Are they working together?

Two crows perch on a branch indifferently. Then again, magpie bobbing, mobbing: kestrel swooping, looping - and the crows finishing.

Even the shadows bloom

Let me slip into
my dancing shoes,
because tonight
I want to move closer
to you

I want my steps
to whisper across
your floor..

wounds fail to heal

Is love enough?
Is it really all I need?
What if the love is beyond beyond?
But what if that's all I'll be able to receive?
Is it greedy, unrealistic to want some effort, too
When this kind of love has been my lifelong dream?

#LISA has three spacecraft flying in a triangular formation, 2.5 million km apart, exchanging laser beams.

Inside them, two golden cubes are in free fall.

Gravitational waves alter the distance between objects so LISA will measure the tiny distance changes between the cubes.

#ESAEnvision will address several key questions about Venus: 

🌋 How geologically active is the planet today?
☁️ How are its thick clouds sustained?
🥵 How does Venus lose its heat? 
💦 Where did its water go?
🪨 How does the planet’s surface change over time?

#CometInterceptor will be 'parked' in space before traveling to an as-yet-undiscovered comet and complete a flyby.

Its three spacecraft will perform simultaneous observations from multiple points around the comet, creating a 3D profile of the object.

said a contrarian
to a second rock
that first tickled
then sucked in

Buried in my heart,
a voice breaks through the dark;
fragile, broken.
My soul harks,
heeding an ache
that refuses to surrender.

I shined a light under the bed
and found myself staring back.
It wasn’t a monster, just a part of myself that needed me.

one goal in her life
was to find a man
who shared laughter
and mirrored passion

throughout a lifetime
she met a few—
the one she wanted
was an illusion

falls a Celtic tear
the uilleann pipes
lamenting loves lost
we raise the parting glass
for auld lang syne
and memories of
the rare auld times on
the banks of Loch Lomond
and in the fields of Athenry

really a fear of death
or just a fear of existing on high places
