Little Things
I bought my mom a scratch off lotto ticket today before we left to come back home.
She won $20.
No special reason I did it. It made her so happy though.
And her eyes had all the seeming of a demon that is dreaming. Random thoughts and events from a random life. Nec mortem effugere quisquam nec amorem potest.

Off to NY for the next several days.

The radio yells. It’s all just noise; the words having lost meaning long ago. Noise to drown out the whispers.
I hate the miles we are forced to traverse, to or away from. Traveling towards an unwanted goal or away from one that is longed for. Taking you farther than you want to be because you need to be.
The miles make us different, make us older. Wearing down rubber and reason and resolve.
The moon takes pity and lights our way home.
It knows a thing or two about scars.

We may be going in December. If not, then in January.
