"Surging Tides"

I can’t sleep. I can’t let go.

It’s something the ocean does—

something beyond the horizon

or buried in the sand,

something deeply wet,

insistent, aching and alive.

The sea’s slow undulation

stirs a hunger in me,

salt on the wind—raw, electric.

Night exhales the scent of us: impossible to forget.

And here I am, restless, writhing,

adrift in the insatiable dark,

enduring the night’s ticking torment.

I’m soaked in the memory of us—

hours pulsing with longing,

helpless against the tide

of desire surging within me,

your name breaking on my lips,

a storm I cannot escape.

(via Pedestrian deaths are surging - Axios)

look out

Pedestrian deaths from cars soared to record levels during the pandemic, according to data from the Governor's Highway Safety Association.

Why it matters: An uptick in dangerous driving behavior during the pandemic contributed to the dramatic increase in pedestrian deaths in 2020, despite less drivers being on the road.

By the numbers: Crashes killed more than 6,700 pedestrians in 2020, up about 5% from the estimated 6,412 in 2019, according to the association.

Seven states — Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, New York, North Carolina and Texas — accounted for more than half of all pedestrian deaths, and New Mexico had the highest rate of pedestrian deaths per resident population.

The group also projected that the pedestrian fatality rate, based on vehicle miles traveled, reached about 21% in 2020, underscoring the fact that deaths rose despite less cars on the road.
