On January

but it's not like this in our area ; at least, not yet.


Dylan Thomas wrote this about January:



"In the sniffed and poured snow on the tip of the tongue of the year
That clouts the spittle like bubbles with broken rooms,
An enamoured man alone by the twigs of his eyes, two fires,
Camped in the drug-white shower of nerves and food,
Savours the lick of the times through a deadly wood of hair
In a wind that plucked a goose,
Nor ever, as the wild tongue breaks its tombs,
Rounds to look at the red, wagged root."

-  Dylan Thomas, January, 1939







Meanwhile, our world is in a bad way. Australia is burning up.
Trump is fixing for war with Iran.
I do not want to think about what happens next.
