I never saw the sun shinin' so bright Never saw things goin' so right Noticing the days hurrying by When you're in love, my how they fly by Blue days, all of them gone Nothin' but blue skies from now on —Blue Skies #CloudPhotography #BlueSkies #IrvingBerlin #AmericanSongbook
"I should go back to school and learn the brain. I know, I know, I couldn't even get through Mrs. Strobe's bio2, but still I bet they have new machines now, stud finders for the walls of that gooey maze. As a brain man, I'd ride from town to town. Bury all the bad stuff. The erasing Angel is here."
Balance is not the right word but to have a reading that is contrary and & yet shares a desire with Lipsyte... attending to soldiers during the Civil War or an unexpected kiss, the desire and frisson is the same. The pure shock of being in the moment, connecting with a fellow creature. #WaltWhitman
'drinking' alone with Steve Lipsyte. A voice from breath to air in Lipsyte's that is always inventive and will keep you safely shrouded from performative reading since his covers are rarely noticed. Go Catamounts! #book #novel #prose #SamLipsyte

Sunlight floods the room from the bay window, reflects off the wide, honey colored floorboards, & casts an emerald glow over the perfect leaves of a monstera shaped like a cloud. It stems brush the back of a Scandinavian armchair. —Perfection —Vincenzo Latronico #voiceless #narrative #creatives
A favorite image of mine from @blu-dot.bsky.social took me back to Bruegel's 'Hunters in the Snow'. What mood does the image evoke here? Is it joyful? How does that mood change as you look closer? Where does your eye go? How does it travel through the photograph? #landscape #imagination #color

He stood outside the gates of Tegel Penitentiary, a free man. Only yesterday, he had been on the allotments with the others, hoeing potatoes in his convict stripes, and now he was wearing his summer duster, and they were hoeing and he was free. — Berlin Alexanderplatz — Alfred Döblin #GeorgeGrosz

Lay your sleeping head, my love, Human on my faithless arm; Time and fevers burn away Individual beauty from thoughtful children, and the grave Proves the child ephemeral: but in my arms till break of day Let the living creature lie, mortal, guilty, but to me The entirely beautiful. —W.H. Auden

We lived here, my mum, dad, & me, from 1958, the year I was born, until 1970 when I was 11. My mum was proud of the fact that we lived in an end-terrace house & so we're effectively in an unusually extended semi-detached. Even without that enhancing increment of status, it was a glamorous terrace.
That garden would have been paradise for a certain lavender loving pooch! #gagoots
