"Call my tongue a crown
of thorns, a patch of nettles sunk deep in an arm.
I’ve found every sparrow God has forgotten
to watch over. I’ve wreathed them in briars
and hung them from the back fence. They say
they’re tired of singing. They sang only to be noticed.
I am noticing. They are noticed."
- Roger Reeves, “Self-Portrait as Ernestine ‘Tiny’ Davis,” published in Blackbird (via bostonpoetryslam)
An ice circle is a natural phenomenon that occurs in slow moving water in cold climates. They are very rare and they rotate. They are formed when floating bits of ice get caught in an eddy (a whirlpool) and start spinning in a circle.

A rare sight: “A partial annular eclipse shot at sunset from the front yard of my house in Amarillo, Texas. I think it’s safe to say that I’ll never see a sunset quite as unique as the one pictured here again.”
