#noise making

this was a dream car of mine! still is! back in the early 80s I tracked on down. i was stationed at nellis at the time. I financed the Cuda, It looked just like this one! Hemi, shaker, Short pistil grip, telescoping - tilt steering wheel, same louvers on the windows, and winged spoiler. The bitch was, two weeks later I parked it across from the sheriffs department to go eat dinner. when I came out it was stolen. And I never saw it again! and I paid for the next 3 years for a car I didn't have! yea, insurance we wont go there, long argument... broken heart over that car!

You don't have to sing it right

But who could call you wrong?

To put your emptiness to melody

Your awful heart to song

You don't have to sing it nice

But honey sing it strong

At best, you'll find a little remedy

At worst, the world will sing along

We ought to call ourselves Homo clamorans. Noisemaking man.

Silly Game Time: I dare you to click your tongue 5 times as loud as you can as soon as you finish reading this ask, regardless of where you are. Whoever does it loudest (rated by you on a scale of 1 to 10—honor system) wins!

Did you do it? And, if so, how loudly?

Bathroom, decent acoustics, I'd it's a solid 7/10.

exactly a year ago, i got published locally through the awesomeness of @omflit-blog (special shoutout to the lovely @toomichinfo ) AND we launched the anthology at the @manilabookfair! what an amazing albeit unfamiliar experience!!!

i am not big on getting my photos taken, but i handed my phone to my mom and she *delivered.* i think these photos (2, 5, & 6) are very telling of my common observance: if you view through the lens of love, everything becomes colored by/with it. my mother has no photography experience, but i hold these photos very dear (and thank God for backup! my old phone broke down early this August; was able to save a few shots), because i feel like i am seeing myself through her eyes.

all of these astonishments happened in a time when i was in throes of carrying this great grief. being part of this anthology feels like a prophetic declaration: after our mourning, we will and shall be clothed in joyful light. i still hold on to this idea despite AND especially these times.

selah.
