General

Between life and death,

A thin line blurs,

Predator or prey,

Reward or risk,

Cheese or cozen*,

Triumph or trap.

Cozen* :- Trick or deceive.

Research & Fun Tidbits:

1. https://coldhandboyack.wordpress.com/2020/07/25/technological-nightmares-and-extra-work/ “I’ve been working on my storyboards in drips and drabs. Right now I have six in various stages of completion, and some are nearly complete.

There are two stand alone novels, the finale of the Lanternfish trilogy, and three future stories for Lizzie and the hat. I was feeling pretty good about the process. That’s when everything started failing.

The app I’ve been using is called Pinnic. It randomly erased one of my ledger cards. I tried opening and closing, even a reboot. That’s when I discovered another board had the same thing happen to it. Then it started throwing out a random index card that could not be edited or deleted. It also covered another card I would really like to read.

What happens is…

Hold my words
up to your lens –
exchange snippets

distracted lives
hold no audience
I seek a way home.

(Reena’s Exploration challenge invites us to write a cryptic poem.  Image my own.)

Said the nimbus to the moor-
What came first
The chicken or the egg
Your breath becomes my burden
My burden your nourishment
Who is mightiest

Gathering storm clouds
Looming distress and longing
Weeping down desire
The earth receives and returns
True love dancing in the air

I know you always
act in your self interest
lights, camera, roll

Clutter of eyes seal the hallway,
Entrapping your skin to a soft image
That faces can hardly hold.
