  1. I have sat with him for hours. He is a statue. But a living and breathing one. “He's alive! He's alive!” I have to keep repeating to myself. It’s so easy to forget, and I have at times. You could debate the philosophy of it, but the unmitigated medical fact is that he is alive. And I see a #vestige of life, in his eyes. It’s a faint but certain spark. And my hope in being in a room with him, reading to him, listening to music with him, is to fan that flame. Even if only a little.

    Christmas Day
    Your laughter roaring
    Quiet doesn’t stand a chance,
    Usually

    But this year
    Silent on the couch
    Heart spikes at the slightest shift
    Still,
    Surrendered

    Scarcely a vestige
    Heal and return
    Come back,
    You

  3. Your life just needs a tweak
    A small adjustment
    Somehow, something someone
    Is missing
    Worn out? Gone out?
    Requiring tightening
    Loosening?
    A change of location?
    There seems an ache
    A convergence
    A vestigial memory
    A twinge of regret
    A kick in the guts.

  4. What use to be before
    now is no more
    Nary a #vestige
    of yesterday's reality remains
    as PHD's pontificate
    their best pet theories
    Scholarly consensus now proclaims
    what had passed for absolute truth back in the day never really was
    Interpretations have been revised
    to polish the textbook lies
    that will exonerate both departed martyrs
    and bone crushers of dissent
    Self righteous burners of all heretics
    who did not salute the dogma
    of a black and white world
    old science defined as flat

  5. The vestiges of the past
    Hold less potency now.
    Even though on occasion
    I am pulled back there and
    go tumbling into the darkness,
    I'm now acquainted with
    The paths of self-compassion
    That lead me back home.

  6. Summer has vanished
    Without a vestige of warmth
    Don't forget your coat

  7. White pages crackle
    Opening up, revealing
    A world more alive
    Than my own here
    Train views fading
    People clatter quieting
    My brain focuses
    Emptying myself into
    Words and ideas
    I shrug off the last vestiges
    Of my humanness
    As I fall into fiction

  8. En 1866, Alfred Nobel découvre que la nitroglycérine peut être stabilisée après mélange avec un sable siliceux d'origine naturelle, le kieselguhr. Cette découverte permet le développement de la dynamite et des mélanges similaires (dualine et lithofracteur), par ajout à la nitroglycérine de composés inertes ou de combustibles absorbants (par exemple la nitrocellulose pour fabriquer un gel de couleur jaune, la gélatine explosive). #urbex #usine #vestige
