I Broke the Spell

I broke the spell that held me long,
The dear, dear witchery of song.
I said, the poet’s idle lore
Shall waste my prime of years no more,
For Poetry, though heavenly born,
Consorts with poverty and scorn.

I broke the spell–nor deemed its power
Could fetter me another hour.
Ah, thoughtless! how could I forget
Its causes were around me yet?
For wheresoe’er I looked, the while,
Was Nature’s everlasting smile.

Still came and lingered on my sight
Of flowers and streams the bloom and light,
And glory of the stars and sun; –
And these and poetry are one.
They, ere the world had held me long,
Recalled me to the love of song.

“I Broke the Spell That Held Me Long” by William Cullen Bryant

Can't quite see in the mist.

I love these raw moist dawns with
a thousand birds you hear but can't
quite see in the mist.
My old alien body is a foreigner
struggling to get into another country.
The loon call makes me shiver.
Back at the cabin I see a book
and am not quite sure what that is.

Nostalgic futuristic

Record breaking Thriller
dance attempt.

Wolfman Jack style
dj in the video game says,
“This is Wasteland Radio

and we’re here for you”

                *

You are here

maintaining détente
between the voices
in your head.

Immediacy is retro,
says Lytle.

Nostalgic/futuristic 
scene in which

we can read the code—

green
flowing algorithms.

We can almost
slip right in.

Friends with talent

I met Virginia, and we became friends, when I went to her HP Lovecraft readings (Tuesdays 5pm SLT) at Innsmouth. She became one of the artists featured at Galleria Kakku. Through her I heard of this exhibit at The Red Gallery, benefiting Team Diabetes of SL. It will open on the 20th. I really love the pictures she made for it. There will be a lot of artists featured and the proceeds go to an important cause. John Brianna (Johannes1977) is also one of the Galleria Kakku artists, and is the 2016 SL coordinator of the charity. He runs The Windlight Art Gallery and works for the Kultivate magazine. You can see, why I had to share this event, I am very happy they are doing such a great event.
