At last…Another’s heartbeat 
by Marcellus Williams who was murdered by the state of Missouri on September 24, 2024

the silhouettes of their bond visible at the last glow of the sun 
they experience each other and the life of the night as it begins to stir
standing there in silence holding hands
no rush to go back inside
there is so much beauty and comfort in being in love and just being…
—amidst sounds of buzzing
chirps
crickets
the pleasant but irregular blowing of the wind
fireflies dancing in step with the light of the moon
how strange it is to become aware of another’s heartbeat but forget one’s own—
finally love

Reading Tana French's The Hunter. I keep updating my partner on every twist of the Ardnakelty drama as if our actual friends are involved. Also saying "Jaysus" in my head. Also convinced all murders of crows are the same ones outside Cal's house. Send help. #tanafrench

I run a cozy table top gaming convention and it's happening next week! Sept 26-29, in Albuquerque, NM. We've got open gaming, a tournament, a live auction, and more. I'll be running a game of Votes for Women. www.mananacon.com.
