The living room redecoration is not complete yet, but we’ve mostly got the new layout and furniture in place. La-Z-Boy recliner (oh yeah!) was purchased just last night to replace the glider. Books & bookshelves are transitioning hither and yon, and the area behind this new slate side table will be for music gear. We’d also like to find something sculptural and non-rectilinear to fill the wall space above the TV.

Honu

turtles give up
brains for breath,
the stamina
(unexamined)
to cruise for grass
like a sea-liner
underwater, clear
keeping it going
in unhurried style
there’s no room
for extra thoughts
and definitely
not troubles
the honu know
how to
live life right
