Starting the day with a taste of something fine:  Randy Haddock

fondrem:

Faith goes into hiding in a cave
of even takes.
Holding on to what she knows:
the great Mayan lake is in despair.

I’ll look for you in Panajachel
if there’s still anyone to find.
I’m folding into achy spates
of the doubts that lacerate
flowing down volcanic slides of time

Are we turning into the Atitlán Grebe?
Has our swallowed earth run dry?
Did the reef’s luster rust with the tide’s early fuss?
Where is that land where I can roam?

Was it a shadowless, motherless
asynchronous moon?

We’ll stay apart
but close enough to touch.
A drunken butterfly
crawling to its broken wings
wraps the ethereal hug
with a blanket made of shrugs
flowing down volcanic slides of time.

Round Up The Usual Subjects Thoughts On Just About Everything

Every seven minutes, every day, someone in the Twitter world tweets a Robert Brault quote. The author, a free-lance writer for forty years, has appeared in publications and venues ranging from “Reader’s Digest” to the CBS TV series “Criminal Minds” to the Ivory soap wrapper. In this, the first published collection of his writings, he draws from his popular internet blog “A Robert Brault Reader” to offer original thoughts on a basketful of familiar subjects. So kick up your feet, pour yourself a cup, and discover the author who says of himself, “I make no claim to fame, since I figure it would end up in small claims court, anyway.”

A new book from one of my favorite authors who I quote often on my blog.  I’m ordering mine today!   Rick
