A doctor fell into a well,
and broke his collarbone;
A doctor should attend the sick,
and leave the well alone.

Some days the beach just glows. This was taken in Fripp Island, SC @frippislandrsrt just before sunset. It was misty and atmospheric. Here’s 100 words. Cheers!

BEACH GLOW
Have you ever seen the beach glow just before sunset on a misty kind of day? The ocean reaches for the shore leaving behind the glow of their ever persistent kiss. A meandering glow that moves into the distance, into full white light. It feels like a monochromatic daydream that you can get lost in. Following the glowing trail for miles and miles. Silver sun shining down from above. Everything muted by the mist that the ocean kicked up into the sky. What once was a bright blue sky kind of day has turned into a lustrous atmospheric beach scene.

Promised Land by Valzhyna Mort
I dreamed you and I
are going to Ethiopia together
you are taking a plane
and I am going by bus
you are 79
I'm 24
you'll get there first
and will be waiting
till finally my bus also reaches
our Ethiopia

What Do Women Want?
by Kim Addonizio
I want a red dress.
I want it flimsy and cheap,
I want it too tight, I want to wear it
until someone tears it off me.
I want it sleeveless and backless,
this dress, so no one has to guess
what’s underneath. I want to walk down
the street past Thrifty’s and the hardware store
with all those keys glittering in the window,
past Mr. and Mrs. Wong selling day-old
donuts in their café, past the Guerra brothers
slinging pigs from the truck and onto the dolly,
hoisting the slick snouts over their shoulders.
I want to walk like I’m the only
woman on earth and I can have my pick.
I want that red dress bad.
I want it to confirm
your worst fears about me,
to show you how little I care about you
or anything except what
I want. When I find it, I’ll pull that garment
from its hanger like I’m choosing a body
to carry me into this world, through
the birth-cries and the love-cries too,
and I’ll wear it like bones, like skin,
it’ll be the goddamned
dress they bury me in.

This unusual Latin to English glossary is from Bernard S. Talmey's "Love: A Treatise on the Science of Sex-Attraction" (1919), a 458-page treatise on carnal acts which has all words deemed too scandalous translated into Latin. Ranging from the familiar (cunnilingus, fellatio, libido), to the expected (sugo for “suck”, lambo for “lick”, fricare for “rub”), to the distinctly worrisome (gallina for “hen”, canis for dog), to the plain intriguing (nono quoque die for "every nine days"), the list gives a fairly good sense of what’s to come in Talmey’s study of the varieties of human sexual experience.

The Public Domain Review
One of the 28 spectacular "pattern poems" produced by the Frankish Benedictine monk Rabanus Maurus in his 9th-century work De laudibus sanctae crucis (In Praise of the Holy Cross).⠀
⠀
Each poem has a grid of letters which constitutes a poem, but into this chaos of letters are interwoven other forms — be they bodies, shapes, or larger letters — placed into the grid in such a way as to incorporate and make use of the letters to produce new poems (or at least words or sentences). For example, in this image featured here we see the words CRUX SALUS (The Cross is Salvation) boldly highlighted from the grid. But closer inspection reveals a third layer here. Each of these large letters itself is comprised of a word: for example, within the C is the word “Seraphin” and within the R another member of the heavenly hosts, “Cherubim”. Both these additional layers (of the large letters and the words within) fail to disrupt the background grid and its sense. It is a remarkable feat of planning and invention. ⠀

“Love, whereof are ye made such that you can please and tease at the same time? Why must the heart tremble at your appearance only to fear even more your departure? Love is beyond command or grasp and has no definable physical properties whatsoever. Because love is not of the earth or the wind but of the spirit and the mind.” - Avram Ohm

"Well, what I really want is love and tolerance and understanding with a huge serving of peace and goodwill among people of all ethnicities, backgrounds and faiths, but assuming you're all out of those, you can just bring me a grilled cheese sandwich and a soda for now." :)
