“I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet.” Jack London
Still Rising I traced the line of the meteor's red arc in the fullness of your glistening eyes, awaiting love's long, cruel demise, ∽ so soon fooled by its trajectory ∼ a much tilted orbit, ablaze, still rising, lighting the sky's shadowed back, tracing a smile on your glistening lips.

Jack London was a favorite of my sisters and me growing up❤️

Yes, I enjoyed reading him back in my youth, he wasn’t really known in my circles, I stumbled across him in a local library one quiet afternoon.
