A September Insomnial Evening: my latest .@ImageCurve #haibun
Another sip of hot, honey-sweetened chamomile tea. More clock ticks, and the hum of the refrigerator. Soft light from the new stainless-steel ceiling fan illuminates both the walls’ yellow eggshell finish and the golden brown of our “Grandma’s” table. If not for the hour, this could be morning. But it’s not morning: it’s half-past eleven…

The Tao of War and Peace: a #PiDay #TankaProse
Our anonymous ancestors discovered fire. They lit their nights thereafter. Apex predators that had preyed on them before felt fear evermore. Cooked meat freed their metabolisms to generate cognitive growth. How long after did the first of our anonymous ancestors turn fire against another? Was its use the first weapon of mass destruction, in a…
