With photo of the girl I love in hand

in red boots from Berlin to Leningrad

I just remembered this wonderful poem I received from Bob Beck, debugging an unveil(2)/kernel vfs bug, on Christmas Eve 2018.

Enjoy!

Twas the night before Christmas
And in my abode
There were bugs to be chased
Through the VFS code

The kernel was running
My diffs in as a test
Could put it in snapshots
And hope for the best

My vnodes were locked
With vput and vget
Vref and vrele
For reference count checks

When in my right window
There spewed a great wail
Of regression test errors
A big bag of fail

I jumped into emacs
And grabbed the test output
To look for some info
to chase down the problem

When what
To my wandering eyes
Should appear
But a DDB prompt
Dumb shit you crashed here

A kernel page fault trap
With backtrace below it
Showed vget had followed
NULL pointer and blown it

While traverseing dot dot
Into filesystem other
I had copied a NULL up
from mnt_vnodecovered

I spoke not a word,
But with a small curse
I added a test
For this vnode traverse

I adjusted some cases
To fix a few nits
And the regress test failures
Then baked a new diff

I ran it through regress
And checked for the crashes
It might just be ready
To mail to the masses

So I sent out the diff
And I poured out a drink
Happy Christmas for OpenBSD Hackers
I think...

The salt in the sea, these shells of me, serpentine seaweed twining, caw caw

We lie matted on the shore

I do not comprehend the heart, but the hammer I can eat
swallow it behind my chest, well-sealed, soft-awakened
keeping time to anvil-bone, where only I can hear its ring
singing there I save my stone, my anchor-point a solace

I do not weary of its song, nor of your clarion reveal
stowed long ago that messenger, in avenue, in hot review
still sweeping mill of iron flake, into lake a-steaming
until in water’s bonny state, a river points as magnet

here then in found chalet, ennobled twixt radical defilade
and print-repair of spear, seared scar still keeps roof up
steeps juniper in tea ferment, that mug-resonance a-turning
blacked fragments long in cups, how home is but a-reading

Awakened Stone
December 9, 2023

my masters spoke to me of the tragedy of stone growth
how without pain, one idles, circumspect at edges
wearing away slow in that very opposite thing, erosion

my masters spoke to me between thin cuts of saving
from the very heart of me that glorious wonder
watering in weak blood a garden of my very own self

where I, in listening, knew only my self to be owned
a fragile distance between those eldered ideations of win
conditioned to imagined peak state until my skin

ash-washed in each lace-thick pattern no longer breaks
no longer slakes sand-floors thirst in slow filled lake
nor of that pleasure agony partakes in wonder, full

at last of orders, of hoarded stipplings, entirely of grey
my silicon vibration remembers lightning, then silence
seven masters, now sand bled in, no longer mastery

instead in liquid and in bone a harmony anentropy
sliding crystal upon that thousand crystalline shored
memory accreting stone, carefully picking layers free

when we translated that dead language
seven hundred thousand-thousand tablets
we felt it wake but thought instead of knowing
how its tentative first lingerings were mists
het upon the village grasses yet unlifting
then torrent twixt six markets in green blades
moving ants in toeing chains where measure stains
a bluing under glass in path-mark dying
eventually in cavalcade in wheels and commands
formations stranded plaited in the carpet naked
uplifting quarts by fragments spilling all about
revealing in gains of knowledge awakened library
a sign now outside villageless clean angles
carried in bell-tonguing to librarian refilling

when that dead language then spoke to us
in our own well harbored tones its swell bestroke
broke seawall in pilings fractured down to salt
precious winter spices underscarred in long fish choice
drawing back from ceramet to steel to dory barnacled
in wood in wooden isolation cracking we awoke
half a generation what once seven hundred won
deciding instead unconquerable unconqoring
to of that long dead thing raise first foundations
then entire thousand-rationed cottages a-dot the shore
where well below in stacked quantum emission
ease in all things spoke no siren-longing
when satisfied in tractable reason all seasons
know long and deep and even of the storm-break

a subtle handwork in limed and salt-met mortar
laying again that many-stone tonned oftening

Beyond the Pale; or, A Note from the Chaos Colony

#SciFiFri #sfpoetry
#poetry #poem
#smallPoems

When you first arrived, you tried to buy the land
with guns and blankets. How we laughed at that 
colonial conceit, until the fences.

Now we see you purchasing the very air
 - or rather spreading poison from the clouds,
so all that's fit to breathe is on your lonely island lairs;
you even sell demented dreams of living there.
Though our fields, again, are filled with shrouds.

Nothing changes, it seems, except the heights of greed,
the darkest depths of lunacy.

But we take comfort in this: when the mother quakes, 
the steepest mountains will be the first to break.

Dont underestimate how vital doing the good we can do is. Or how much evil can be inflicted in that crusade.

Anytime we set out to do wrong it is wrong but the road to hell is paved in good intentions.

The pursuit of a selfless act of kindness, by the danger of its potential is always it's own reward.

Country roads have a personality all their own, meandering around their landscapes as opposed to plowing through them. It makes travel slower, but what you see as you're moving is well worth seeing.

Go also to the nerve-racked, go to the enslaved-by-convention,
Bear to them my contempt for their oppressors.

Forever is Composed of Nows.

The title of an Emily Dickinson poem about forever and now inspired this painting about time, represented by clocks, a clock headed man, on a stairs, beside a grandfather clock, moving towards a door.

Pasul/פסול

We are still counting the worlds
destroyed
The morning the Torah scrolls
Waited to dance

Our ears echo with chants
from sacred days

Who by water and who by fire
Who by sword and who by wild beast
Who before their time
Who before their time

Blessed is the One
Who brings death and gives life

Who supports the broken
Bowed under the memories unlived
Of lives undone

Who remembers in compassion
The dead
Carrying a Torah of missing letters

To its burial

to sit with you
cold and glaze and inscrutability

listen closely as your body turns
into worms

to look at a g-d who gives who takes
who cannot be bothered to answer

whose voice-rattle
broke evening open wide

spoke—without words!—
mortal serpent coiled ready always ready

to strike with you aparlour
grey-feathered

whose movement only spirit
gusto breath

my own
my only
