there are nights like this
there will always be nights like this
when we’re not yet dark and
not quite clear,
and I do not know
the way back to the docks
where the mind blazes
and the sounds aren’t so muffled.
I don’t know why it’s so quiet
while we bleed
while we make to ourselves
the idea of people
here in the zone of teeth spears,
here in word-weapon country,
we make our small houses
we make our shrines.
this much I know:
on nights like this
not loud enough,
not soft enough
when the cold bleeds in and out
of our lungs our shrines our small houses
it is real.
it is more than an absence
of heat.

4.21.16 - 3:04 am
grief like rot, grief like consuming
in my city the lights are going out
teach me how to use past tense
how to step from the street to the house without breaking.

exhaustion
of the acutest kind,
kindness slipping back
down the throat
in the most pathetic retreat
in recent years,
not a surrender
but a defeat,
not the hands raised
but twisting off at the wrist
and still reaching out.
the whites of the eyes
a thing of myth,
everything tinged with
a sickly sort of pink,
blinking
one
two
three
and still
nothing is clear
but you still have to keep going.
so,
you do.
Emily Palermo, 5 WEEKS. (via starredsoul)

Here they are! These two species of mosses, freshly available this week! “Palm Tree Moss” (Climacium dendroides) and “Shaggy Moss” (Rhytidiadelphus triquetrus). Both from a walk down Gould Trail towards Peck’s Brook in the Greylock Glen.
If you like either of these two species and would like one in a pendant, make sure to let me know with your purchase this week and I’ll be sure to send you one!
