Ectopic Heart

Ectopic heart beat. Acoustic neuroma. Sleep apnea. Getting older blessing against alternative. Neither hate nor repair. Immediately the woods were familiar ? bunchberry, clintonia. Red spruce, yellow birch. Heron rowing northward overhead a sign: good luck. Or was it just a crow. Rock thrown. Don't know. Life's ending. My sons have each other for laughter at their tragedies. Avalanche, cataract. Clean house or run for president. Power and talent are bones in your feet. Nature's the bed you'll sleep in. Thyroid storm. Screech of the long-eared owl. Even if portent of death, it's welcome.
