What Makes The Heart?
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
Silence makes the heart go wander
Distance makes the heart grow harder
Laughter makes the heart grow stronger

Everyone’s walking with a devil inside

What’s next after a powder state?
Ground down to the silicate?
Too crushed to calculate

I was in Colorado recently. I hiked 15% up Pikes Peak, near the end of the day – as many people were hiking down. I caught snippets of passing conversations. I will post them here for posterity.
To begin:
“I think we should move the bachelorette party closer to the wedding day.”
“Yeah”
The Mountain
“Boys, I finally finished folding that mountain of laundry.” I said, weakly. I’d been at it for days.
They applauded me, meagerly.
