Next Winter

September 22, 2024

Sourced from Thomas Wolfe's Letters To His Mother (1943)

Text under the cut

"I want you to know that I wish I could be enjoying some fine spring with you. I know how much you enjoy spring and good weather.

I am having dinner tonight

Spending another winter alone.

Visit me if you feel like it.

And by next winter I will winter with you.

If you ever need anything I earnestly request you to let me know instantly.

I am happy to have someone to look after.

I can be where you are"

No life at all

September 15, 2024

Sourced from Thomas Wolfe's Letters To His Mother (1943)

Text under the cut

"I feel well but

I do not think I have fight left in me.

No life at all.

I am in danger of starving

And just a little touch I'd have to share

I turned it down

I don't want to do it."

The people provide

"I have gone on steadily with my work

After going through a very depressing time

I was glad to get even what I got, and now

Things look much more cheerful

And all of a sudden,

The people provide for themselves"

"While I have the chance,

Let me know if you need anything.

Although I have work,

I feel very well myself.

My rest has helped to keep me.

I have intended several times to tell you more.

Yes, I have been feeling hopeful at present

Since the few raw days of cold weather.

I want to write to you for some time to come.

For several years, I hope.

Back to work again"

Energy from Peril

September 10, 2024

Sourced from ocean encyclopedia

Text under cut

"Organisms that live for hundreds of years

Have been taken from the seabed

Driven to extinction

To fuel the oil and the gas reserves

And the modern industrial world

Energy sources recover"

Copepods

Mystery Flesh Pit inspired cut-paper poetry.

"Copepods

Long crustaceans

Drifting creatures

They feed.

They feed on other living things and

Human beings have entered the food chain"

One of hundreds

Text under the cut

"They have read the vision of life

and thought it splendid

A very honest and moving piece of work.

But it does not seem good and interesting to you.

Beyond that, it is only one of hundreds"

The open ocean

"A vast expanse

That seems to stretch out endlessly

Far from view

Below the waves, deep

The deepest point

Miles from the surface"
