haven't smoked in a week. the days are shorter and i keep sleeping on the floor by mistake. thought of going to the movies but i lost track of time. tomorrow.

no lists of things to be done. the day providential to itself. the hour. there is no later. this is later. all things of grace and beauty such that one holds them to one's heart have a common provenance in pain. their birth in grief and ashes.

just made these for no reason.

PALESTINIAN FLAG, Manal Mahamid, 2024

the electricity ran out for six hours yesterday. me and my neighbors all gathered during sunrise at our doorsteps so we wouldn’t be in the dark alone. we drank coffee and the dogs ran outside towards the grass. when the lights came back we stayed together a little more.

happy birthday to al pacino.

thank you for the love on this one.

going to the movies.

diamonds and rust.
