Moon-2019-06-28-2


"Before there was the cool of the night, there was Molloch, the Dropa (son) of Enlil. Molloch is also called the Changing, the Moh and the Mon. His symbol is the Dark Circle. Molloch walked among the rocks and seas and wind and grass of his forebears. Molloch walked in the day of his brother Baal. Molloch's glow was not seen when Baal was awake, he chose the time of Baal's sleep to walk the Earth. Molloch did not like the grass reaching up to his glow, for it was so thick, it tied him and tripped him. Like his brother, Molloch leapt into the sky letting his glow shower the Earth. Molloch bores easily, so his face glows as he looks upon the Earth for only seven nights. Then he watches the setting of his brother for seven nights. For another seven nights, he looks at the stars. Finally, Moloch sees his brother rise for another seven nights, before returning his gaze to Earth."

— A quote from the upcoming book, Teacher, by M.E. O'Keefe

Moon-2019-07-07-1

I'd eaten so many salt & vinegar potato chips that the roof of my mouth & my gums & lips were stinging, but that's how I stay awake on long car trips. Eating keeps me awake, & only the most addictive gas station delicacies will do. So I was fighting off sleep on the way up the mountain on these ridiculously curvy roads — I barely made it out of 2nd gear for 50 miles — & there in a break in the trees I caught sight of the moon behind a thin illuminated screen of clouds — those cold high altitude clouds you get in the winter — & it just hit me. This is the same damn moon that Julius Caesar & Cleopatra & Buster Keaton stared at. I'm practically famous just in the presence of it. — Barry Wilder

Prayers for the Ghost City by David Wilk Sentient beings depart earth in the grey dawn, homeless doves seek shelter. The moon shudders, a dark balloon in space. What is left behind cannot be saved. We are passengers on a lost journey to a new home. What remains behind cannot be forgotten. Long lost songs in the dirt filled air. Say your prayers for the ghosts and elders. https://tinyletter.com/DavidWilk/archive
