coughing before sleep

There’s nothing wrong with being awake middle-night.

Hot tea with honey. The woman fears pneumonia.

For me, it doesn’t matter. Astros beat Nationals in game three. Game 4 later in D.C.

Time narrows for antithetical dishonorable obliquely referenced in passing.

I no longer care if I live or die. Pressing hands together, eye to eye.

Coming and going

nomine domini

Not yet.

Not yet.

Nōn nōbīs, Domine, nōn nōbīs, sed nōminī tuō dā glōriam (KJV: ps 115)

paradox and confusion guard truth

“The foolish reject what they see and not what they think; the wise reject what they think and not what they see.” (Huang Po, d.850)

The thing about being sick is the expectation that it will break.

Just like that.

It will come.

Haiku

    (In praise of learning)

if water takes shape

whatever carries it holds

each drop as itself

d’accord

Il pluie

La nuit

L’eau

Simplement

when am I done

What does it mean to say I love God?

lo amo Dio
         (a haiku) 

when all  

is said 

and done -- 

you finish me

Perhaps it is that time when nothing else remains.
