About as far as the sun gets through the clouds most days in England…

A rare moment of sunlight on an otherwise gloomy road trip to Cornwall. I think the weather did improve by the time we got there, but I could be imagining it.

The Devil’s Details: There Is a Lizard That Shoots Blood from its Eyes

The Regal Horned Lizard (Phrynosoma solare) can shoot blood from its eyes. There really isn’t a lot more to say.

 

 

“The regal horned lizard is a small, flat lizard about the size of the palm of a man’s hand. Though it has spikes all around its body, the regal horn’s main defense is the ability to squirt blood from its eyes.”

Poems: Creating Nothing

Graves of Viola Burke & Mary Douglas

Creating Nothing

December 31, 2004

~

So long has been the night

Since my descent began

I am losing the memories

Whose few, I treasure

~

Eternal hours spent

In replacing creation with reverie

So many times failed

Things I could grasp

Are now beyond belief

~

My mind is dying

And what I bring upon myself

Prepares my funeral

~

Weakness now, in writing

Proof for my scorn

What I am to be

Becomes a shell of what I was to have

Consciousness fades

And with wide plains behind me

I continue down this canyon

To the bottom of despair
