kingdom of the invisible

I've been thinking about this story, listening

to Cynthia Ozick read it, pondering how to sink

beneath the crust of the visible, spreading out

some plans for the new year all over the floor,

preparing to assemble.

And happy new year.

Gone but not forgotten...Coney Island's boardwalk.

Some photos from last year.

It's the holidays of course.

Food, family: good stuff.

Merry New Year, Happy Xmas!

better names for the full moon)
