Mood: Upset
Well this morning I woke up at 6:30 to take care of my goats. I put in my contacts and put on my goat pants and got the keys to unlock my goats. I went outside and unlocked the door to the goat pin and I looked in and Hector was gone. The window in my goat pin that is usually boarded up was open. Some thieves come last night and knocked out those boards and then lifted Hector through the window...Now they will probably slit his little throut and roast him...my poor little Hector...I will never forget about him. He was so young. Peggy bleats and bleats until I come out to her then she stares blankly at me. Well...happy fathers day.

Poem of November
Limbo
Fishermen at Ballyshannon
Netted an infant last night
Along with the salmon.
An illegitimate spawning,
A small one thrown back
To the waters. But I'm sure
As she stood in the shallows
Ducking him tenderly
Till the frozen knobs of her wrists
Were dead as the gravel,
He was a minnow with hooks
Tearing her open.
She waded in under
The sign of the cross.
He was hauled in with the fish.
Now limbo will be
A cold glitter of souls
Through some far briny zone.
Even Christ's palms, unhealed,
Smart and cannot fish there.
