Sí. Llueve… el cielo gime montones desteñidos sombras mojadas recogen sus trozos cavidades barrosas tremendas mezquinas gotas de agua sulfurada si bien no sé cómo recojo las masas de ver si me agita la pálida lumbre tremendo espesor de perros y gatos las gotas siguen.

Poem in Progress

I hate myself

You could tell through the smoke 

In the dim lights

Drink upon drink 

Starting with vodka and redbull

Ending in jack and coke 

It's too big to be cramped

But there is no air in the room

Just suffocating on social presence 

Dancing all alone

Trying my hardest to look cool 

I think if I were you

I wouldn't even be here 

But the sun cannot be the moon 

Heavy clouds will block  the light

Yet the sun will always rise and set

And the moon will wane and wax

Just as predictable as a ticking clock

We had now met 

And cursed forever more 

Maybe I’ll message you

Maybe I’ll respond

Maybe we’ll wander around Sydney 

Maybe I’ll show you where I work 

When I’m not cramming for uni

Maybe you’ll tell me what you ponder

When you let the facade drop

Maybe in the dark frigid night

Your dry cracked lips

Will find warmth on mine 

But I’m not a girl of maybes 

I am a woman of truth and responsibilities

I have a long distance lover in Canberra

Who is actually now in Newcastle

Drunk on bottles of shiraz

Corked in Barrosa 

And you’ve run away 

From your own tangled mess 

From a girl whose photo is your phone’s background  

Who’s holidaying for a two weeks in Paris

Before going to Singapore

For her sister’s engagement 

“We can be friends”

Neither can remember who said it first

But we can both lie until it ends 

Quell the companionship that we thirst 

Replace relationships we cannot mend 

I lose a part of my beating heart,

In my mind I rewrite rationality,

Everytime I hear you laugh 

And I catch you staring at me

Although Miss Swift, I do critique

With my full heart I silently agree

"What if the way you hold me,

Is actually what's Holy?"

But this is just a lust filled crush,

I can only be entertained for so long,

And pretend I like the artificial flush,

in my soul I feel something is wrong

I crave my love as someone drowning

Drinks in water praying it is air

Once rescued never once stopping

Their admiration for an entity that is always there

My love will come back to Sydney

And reside where he truly belongs

In my arms cuddled next to me

Since the last time I've seen him has been too long

The Chasseur is no stranger to the world; on the contrary, she is a minor celebrity and the foundation on which the later Pride of Baltimore was built.

She became famous when she was sold to Captain Thomas Boyle. A successful privateer, he took her to New York and had her refitted, overhauled and sailed with a new crew. He sailed across the Atlantic and threatened British merchant shipping from the coasts of Portugal and Spain to the English and Irish channels.

He became most famous for imposing a blockade on the entire United Kingdom while sailing the English Channel to show the absurdity of blockades. This affront and the five-day blockade of St Vincent panicked the shipping industry and prompted them to send a letter to Admiral Durham, who dispatched the frigate HMS Barrosa in pursuit of Chasseur but failed to find her.  Untouched, she sailed back to New York on 24 or 29 October 1814 from her famous three-month European voyage.

In the winter of 1814/15 she returned to the West Indies where she captured 18 merchant ships and HMS St Lawrence. When Chasseur returned to Baltimore on 15 April 1815, the ship was affectionately known as the Pride of Baltimore.  She resumed her career as a merchant ship in the China trade, but in 1816 was sold to foreign investors and thereafter disappeared from records.

Thank you for the tag @run-for-chamo-miles

This week I've picked up creative writing for the first time since college in writing a letter to a friend

To keep me going with 2-4 in 2024 while on a family holiday, I decided to write about it in the form of a Gothic epistolary novel. While it's middling at best, I'm exceptionally proud of it, and need to make sure I take a copy before sending it to the intended recipient!

From yesterday's addition:

We have made it to the Barrosa Ranges camp safely. It seems that the fates were on our side after all, and yesterday's deluge seems to have cleared the heavens for our journey. Sir Alex has left to find the trading post, as we find that some of our provisions were not in the cart upon our arrival, despite our care in ensuring all equipment was safely stowed. While I do not wish to cast aspersions, I strongly suspect sabotage by a rival party.

L & B are currently researching that most famous of magi, Empyrean Lapidoptra. I fear that they have knowledge of dangers in the region that would necessitate the honing of such skills.

Cañón de las guerras napoleónicas (1811)

En esa playa (La Barrosa) de la bahía de Cadiz, tuvo lugar una batalla terrible en la que la armada española y la ingleses se aliaron para frenar la llegada de las tropas napoleónicas a San Fernando y Cádiz y poner fin al asedio al que estaban sometidas.

For a French soldier in the Battle of Barrosa, losing the first Imperial Eagle in the Peninsular war probably hurt pretty bad but the humiliation that the guy who took it immediately said "Bejesus boys, I have the cuckoo!" in thick Irish accent could only have stung worse than losing the standard.
