Nicki

All my life I’ve lived about an hour from the seas My house is on a hill, neat dispersed among trees Sometimes I’ll go walking on the path by the river I remember one Easter passing a graveyard A shiver Crept up and hit me hard Coming home we cut through my best friend’s backyard In retrospect, that baby’s grave With stone lamb and epitaph so eager to save Did not foreshadow what I’d see When I walked through the door full of seasonal glee Poor Nicki
The cat slunk away with his tail held down Red stains on the floor slowly faded to brown As time went by

The Blind Fish and the KingThe Blind Fish and the King

I was made from white light and rippling shadow I used to flit between the reeds by day.
Once upon a time,
Compelled by the sheen of precious metal, I was caught on a tiny silver hook. With a flash of chrome and a hard red
jolt I was drawn out of weightlessness, heavy and struck by the sun. Salty, coarse hands gripped me, and tore my mouth from the line. I couldn’t move. I had no breath I couldn’t swim – I gasped for air –
I pleaded with my eyes. The sun shone bright
off my scales And The Blind Fish and the King
by ~muffinface

Isabel or JakeA yelp halt destination paused I gasped for air- there was plenty of air. Grey fur seemingly alive brushed by a breeze Twitched a bit. Didn't really move. Front legs side by side, to the side. Back legs in a somehow dignified straddle-- Tail missing fur and as still as still ever can be. ------ I've always been drawn to the unknown lights When they flicker off When they dim and fade. As abstract as money As simple as a sphere An eye half open Not to look at me but it's like a deep pool. So I step in.
I thought fleetingly of naming the squirr Isabel or Jake

desperation
by ~muffinface

changing the locksI stayed in a box on the counter And posed as the fire brigade But when the sun it came out again I went and I hid in the shade When your hair caught on fire from the telephone wire I turned a blind eye to your plight I got up again, and I counted to ten Started training myself how to fight
I built a canoe in frustration And paddled it off down the road I finally got to the river But I couldn’t cast off my load Down the boat sank - I crawled up on the bank I watched the hull spiral down It bubbled and steamed, and I left what I’d dreamed And I wan changing the locks

come away with me
by ~troyek

Elegy 1I'm taken back... During the summer Family Picnic, A butterfly is found On the bark of a tree. Little girls like to touch Things they think are cute "Is it hurt?"
I tell them:
"It's going to die; When you touch their wings,
It kills them." My uncle overhears,
And says in the way that adults do, Immediately informing me That I've been imprudent. "How do you know that? Do you know anything about Biology?"
I'm taken back... The next summer, We talk about that Uncle Brad,
And my mother, Who knows anything Elegy 1

The Long WalkIntro for The Long Walk
These statistics are taken from a 2002 report by The National Institute of Mental Health :
Approximately 18.8 million American adults, or about 9.5 percent of the U.S. population age 18 and older in a given year, have a depressive disorder.

Nearly twice as many women (12.0 percent) as men (6.6 percent) are affected by a depressive disorder each year. These figures translate to 12.4 million women and 6.4 million men in the U.S.

Depressive disorders may be appearing earlier in life in people born in recent decades compared to the past.
