Ship wakes me for a checkup. So many lightyears jumped, but this feels like yesterday. Again. All these numbered stars I will forget. Ship asks how I feel. 'Hm. Lackadaisical.' Ship asks did I dream. 'Oh, long ago.' When I knew stars by name, and they promised such tomorrows. #vss365#prompt

wet bench in a beach shelter, long past teatime one-time gods stare at the rain 'I'm gonna make one drop a jellybean,' says god of found sweeties fairylights come on along the prom 'Did one of us do that?' asks god of unheard questions as god of fleeting radiance hops puddle to puddle #vss365

I've been playing with found #poetry a bit, using P.A. Taverner's 1936 text from Birds of Canada. He writes lyrically about many of the species, not something you'd find today in a bird ID book, generally.
