--I
SLEPT THROUGH THE EARTHQUAKE
…I had
this story published the other day:
I
actually wrote it a couple of years ago and so it was nice to find a home for
it.
…Today
I’m am heading to Canada. To Galiano
Island, specifically.
Next
weekend is back to Portland.
Then
the weekend after that Indianola.
Then
the next weekend NYC.
I
think I need to stay home more.
…Here
are some things I like for this, or any other weekend:
This is the bird hour,
peony blossoms falling bigger than wren hearts
On the cutting
border’s railroad ties,
Sparrows and other
feathery things
Homing from one hedge
to the next,
late May, gnat-floating evening.
Is love stronger than
unlove?
Only
the unloved know.

“What helps luck is a habit of watching for opportunities, of having a
patient, but restless mind, of sacrificing one's ease or vanity, of uniting a
love of detail to foresight, and of passing through hard times bravely and
cheerfully.” Charles Victor Cherbuliez

other choice." Amanda Miska
