I know that abyss –swallowed up as I waspunch-drunk on darkness Bled as I emerged,each reach a scrape –there was release too Revived now, I honourthat passage, recognizethe making of a woman. (Making of a Woman first appeared here, December 2021. Image: self portrait in ink)

Nice photos, V.J. Goldeneyes are among my favorite winter ducks. Since you mentioned them as a positive sign (? of spring approaching), does that mean you only get to see them in spring and summer?

They pass through here at this time of year (I think), so seeing them means Spring isn’t far behind.
