Pig and farm report
Tonight an eagle flew horizontally at eye level straight through my front yard my heart shivered with the wild beauty of it I ran out to the porch to what? see if I could track its passage? to hear if it left me a message about my dying country? a parcel?
I have been sick a pancreatitis flareup again but it was a short (though painful) bout just a week no doctor I felt today like I might be on the mend I don’t drink and I don’t smoke but I can lie very still on top of a hot water bottle and take ibuprofen I have 12 Vicodin but I’m saving them for the apocalypse or in case I fall down and break my arms off
I dreamed I was trying to play the clarinet in an orchestra and I couldn’t make my left hand close around the upper joint the conductor was the american president a panic dream and a music anxiety dream all rolled into one I woke up in a slick sheen of sweat probably my fever breaking
that eagle though shot through the green like jesus on a bender

I'm so sorry you've been sick! And these days the worry on top of the pain and illness. May you be better, the eagle an animal god announcing arriving health.
Hi Mary. The stress is what brings it always yah. Staying inside the greeny green today with actual breakfast and an Ativan chaser. XO
Jesus on a bender. Love that. I hope you are feeling much better.
I hope you are feeling better since you wrote this -- I am just catching up now. "Like Jesus on a bender" is such a rich phrase. It calls for a short story, a novel, a film and you the writer.
Just tipping in to say hey. I've been away. I see you have too. I hope you are doing ok. I love you.
