I post this poem a year ago in February. It comes back up today. My sister was born in the year of the dragon, so I think of her and miss her.
There appears a flight of dragons without heads
The flight appears
the dragons have lost their heads
they flame indiscriminately
but since they have no heads
the flame does not appear here
they loop in the air
in formation
and are beautiful
nearly silent
no heads to scream
just their wings
on the wind
we stand transfixed
and watch them
the flight
the dragons
who have lost their heads
written February 17, 2021
The headless dragons make me think of the leader dragging countries into war. I hope that other leaders do not follow.
I think
you are my muse
another muse
in a series
like the men
who have young girls
in series
muses
I think
you are gristle
for my mill
I will grind your bones
to poetry
you don’t like my poems
I don’t care
hopefully you won’t read them
your bones
ground

For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: balloon. The space in the clouds is balloon shaped, isn’t it?
I took this yesterday. For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: drama.
I have had strep A sepsis and pneumonia twice. It was terrifying and I ended up having to take care of myself. I would be dead if I was not a physician.
Not to be named obscure website helped to sustain me, because it was a place I could go while I was alone, terrified and very very ill. The bout in 2014 took me out of clinic for six months and then I was barely able to work seeing half my usual number of patients. My local hospital refused to help me, but other people did. I am deeply deeply grateful to the people who did help me, including people on everything2.com that I have never met.
I wrote this in June 2014.

My sister used to tell me
“Everything2 is like a brain.
That’s what attracted me.
All the nodes, like neurons
Connected to each other more and more.”
Or something like that.
Isn’t it annoying?
Now that I’ve taken that memory out
Dusted it off
Embellished it
Who knows what she really said
Flashes of light now
And some where I blank out entirely
For just a moment
Only when I’ve eaten
I’m still avoiding carbs
Could be absence seizures
But she said seizures hurt
These do not hurt
And are accompanied by muscle twitches
Or muscles rolling gently across my frame
I am scared at first
Because I think they are neurons
Bursting into brain flame
And burning out
Brief candles
But I don’t think that’s right either
I think it is plaques
Deposits of antibody
Small pushpins in the wrong place
Being released like stars
