River: Epilogue Of all the places I could stand
I chose the river's bed of sand.
Submerged beneath the skin of light
Inside a blue black diamond night
My feet could find no steady ground
But something precious still was found.
The constant swirling tore away
And razed what I had built to stay
As fortress, façade, masquerade
And me, myself, and I am made.
My arms are strong now with the current
As I push against recurrent
Boulders, jetties, bridges, dams--
Changing what I think I can
Or finding change myself if not;
And more for this change I have fought.
With the thundering I can sing
The song the river's journey brings.
I understand t
River: Lethe Finally lost past swirling pools
Rolls the river as it cools.
Wider now near water mouth
Spreading toward the vacant south
Full of ocean and horizon
But nothing else. Forgetful poison
Waxing from a waning moon
Who glints off water dark as gloom.
Peaceful—peaceful—softly falls.
Around the ripples dreaming stalls
And leaves an emptiness, a space--
Void to fill. A hidden face.
Clouds enshrouding sound and sight
Until the river slips to night
And is a waterway no more.
A dreamless path, amorphous shore.
As ghost-like I wade this languid road
Off my shoulders slides the load
Of remembering my name,
Of telling truth, wi
River: Cocytus Low a sound more deep than hollow
Every river always follows
Ceaseless same as motion rolling,
Like melancholy brass bell tolling,
Is the sound of river wailing
While it's through the canyon trailing.
Each and every stone caressing
Adds a note one more depressing.
Every wading step will leave
A deeper cut, a darker cleave
Reminding how the river finds
The darker places as it winds
In an out, and out and in
Picking up and bringing in.
Leaves that loll in autumn breeze
And ice that locks in winter freeze
May change the tune but not the song
As with each season, our grief prolonged.
Still the river naught evading
Even that whi

I spent four and a half hours at the Singapore Zoo on March 1, and while none of the photos I got are actually artist quality, some of them were fun.

Lemur naps differ from cat naps only in that they are...well, lemurs. This is a black-and-white-ruffed lemur from the Rainforest exhibit. The area was enclosed, and all the animals (birds, butterflies, mouse deer, various types of lemurs, and fruit bats) were loose. It was so cool! I really WAS this close to the lemur, with nothing between he and I. :D

And I almost got hit by a fruit bat. Whooo!
