The Atlantic Ocean Sparkles off the Coast of Little Compton, RI
A birthday to celebrate? The chronological number gave me pause. I caught myself shaking my head in disbelief. Many times. A weekend away to honor the “occasion.” My husband Jon and I headed to Newport, RI for a few days. Leaving the mountains for the ocean…

Crash Boat
Breathe in, breathe out.
Breathe in, breathe out.
Let the oxygen catch.
On knees and elbows rubbed raw
by salt and sand,
be patient.
Stand up, let the blood keep flowing,
fueled by the rush that comes
with feeling powerless.
Back into the surf.
Dive under swells and feel the undertow
pulling, pushing, pressing down.
Hit each wave just right
or be slapped down,
the fly under the old dish towel.
Down again,
shoulder scrapes the floor.
Tiny scraps of snail homes dig in,
rough like newly broken granite.
Rolling over and over,
head over heels.
On knees and elbows again,
eyes closed against the grit,
grinning.
Chest heaves,
shaky fingers clench the sand,
arms tremble.
Fingers come away bloody
from the shoulder blade ripped by
an ill-timed argument with the swell.
One knee will bruise tomorrow,
the other drips red.
Sand made a home in my skin.
Breathe in, breathe out.
Breathe in, breathe out.
Let the oxygen catch.

About the recent art of lamb pulling on narinder’s tongue: why did I see Lamb’s cloak as legs (like a lamb-spider abomination) and why did I not even question it
((To be clear I loved the art but I haven’t actually played the game myself so I just assumed that was some endgame abomination lamb turns into))
The fleece is just a plain old woven thing, but that doesn't mean they're incapable of it.
