Just arrived at Reykjavík for the Iceland Noir writers conference for the third time. First time I saw the moon being cradled by cloud-hands. Then a a volcano erupted. I wonder what this year will show me 🤩

On this eve of fifty Novembers
the winds still howl
the bell still tolls.
My breath turns heavy
as we drift into the long cold night.
The Fitzgerald stirs beneath.
I harbor their echoes
and cradle her steel.
My waves bear the sorrow
of all I have taken.
the winds still howl
the bell still tolls.
My breath turns heavy
as we drift into the long cold night.
The Fitzgerald stirs beneath.
I harbor their echoes
and cradle her steel.
My waves bear the sorrow
of all I have taken.

Looking forward to watching Death by Lightning about James Garfield and Charles Guiteau. Seems like the sort of thing that someone should write an interesting review about and then send it to me for Commonplace. Any volunteers?
