Past Lives
War made for odd couples. To Private Jim Mclellan, Sepp seemed a good man; better at least than some of the monsters he heard stories of deeper into the Reich. Real monsters. This Sepp almost reminded Jim of his uncle; the one from Wisconsin he met a few times at Weddings.

The Architecture of Return
Returning is not a single moment. It is a construction process, slow and deliberate, built from the inside out. After the storms, after the altitude, after the cost, you find yourself standing in the quiet aftermath with nothing but the truth you’ve earned and the pieces of a life that no longer fits. This is where the real work begins—not in rising, not in surviving, but in building something that can hold you without requiring your disappearance.

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.

I see someone has been studying the language. Nicely done!
Absolute magic, so succinctly captured. The essence of a haiku right here, if you ask me! I find myself reminiscing on starry nights with this one.
Quietly powerful like a hand on the shoulder saying keep going. Loved the calm confidence in it ✨
Beautiful energy here, Matthew; I adore this haiku! ❤ Wishing you a Merry Christmas!
That photo takes me back to Mauna Kea 😊✨ And the Haiku is oozing with hope! Great job 👏
Clever and a little educational too.
