Lady with Sharp Crystals.

A brilliant green swirling into yellow.

Flashes of pinks and purples

Flare across the Northern Skies.

The background of dark blues and black

magnify the procession of colours.

Aurora Borealis at its finest.

The snow bank where I sit lights up the colours even more.

Winter brings many things

but this one is a pure joy.

Improperly working Organ

I am disabled.

Handicapped.

Or semi-able.

The organ in question is very important.

Without it the body could not function.

Yet even in this state I am still alive.

The chemicals in my brain fire haphazardly

and so my mental health deteriorates.

Yet even so

no one believes me

when I say I need help

to combat the crushing depression.

The usual response

“just exercise more”

or “just go do it!”

When the brain backfires

doing “it”

is no longer an option.

Cabin fun

No internet.

Other people around.

Good food.

Campfire burning.

Working on the site.

Painting the rafters.

Neck hurts.

Hide in my one person cabin.

Overwhelmed by socializing.

New normal still sucks.

But the weekend was fun.
