Stop scrolling for a minute, take a deep breath. Come and sit down with me for a minute, I’ll make us some tea. It’s a quiet morning, apart from the birds of course. We can sit here for a while, we can chat or just pass the time of day. Or we can go for a walk if you want, my dog can come with us. She doesn’t walk very fast but it will give us time to take in the wildflowers as we go. Or we can go into town and wonder around the secondhand bookstores because there are so many stories we haven’t read yet. And there is something magical about secondhand books, knowing they’ve been loved before. Time passes slowly here, there’s no where to be. Remember no matter how bad things seem, everything will be okay. You’re safe here, darling. Stay as long as you like and you can always come back. Chin up, my love. You’re going to be just fine.

An illustration of a car interior, overgrown with various plants. The image is in a monochrome pallete using shades of deep olive greens. The viewer is at the passenger's side, facing the steering wheel. A blank saturated glow of light surrounds the windows.

It takes time.

The Quiet World

by Jeffrey McDaniel

In an effort to get people to look into each other’s eyes more, and also to appease the mutes, the government has decided to allot each person exactly one hundred and sixty-seven words, per day.

When the phone rings, I put it to my ear without saying hello. In the restaurant I point at chicken noodle soup. I am adjusting well to the new way.

Late at night, I call my long distance lover, proudly say I only used fifty-nine today. I saved the rest for you.

When she doesn’t respond, I know she’s used up all her words, so I slowly whisper I love you thirty-two and a third times. After that, we just sit on the line and listen to each other breathe.

Me: Since I don't know where your infection is coming from, I am going to need to examine your prostate - sometimes people can get an infection there and it can make them quite sick

Patient: That seems reasonable, but how are you going to do that?

Me: Well, the prostate sits underneath your bladder and in front of your rectum

Patient, horrified: You're going to do a rectal exam???

Me: Friend, if you know of any other way for me to examine your prostate, I am all ears, but until then, I will in fact need to do a rectal exam

Patient: That's fine, you'd just think there was a better way to do it by now!

Me: You sure would, but here we are!

Thrilling ache

In the hush of winter’s embrace

she stood on a terrace

both bitter and divine

where moonlight drapes

a silken shroud

seeming to seek 

a love unfound

a touch that slips 

through ghostly fingers

each breath a mist

a fading prayer

to share one breath

a thrilling ache

each night a kiss

a prayer, a plea

the shadow she couldn’t set free

silhouette of silk and grief

fingers light

tracing fate

where throbbing hearts 

lose their beat

her body bends

but not her soul

her silver eyes, once bold

now tremble

desperate for him

not for me

chasing shadows

a heart in endless flight
