  1. Hy Shay, I went all David Bowie, Nastassja Kinski, and Cat people on ‘Ya — just couldn resist — the beautiful people in that wonderful, wicked, twister litte movie and cultural magic mindset!! Seduction, sex, and slashing — Oh my!

    1. That seal isn't dead, it's hibernating.

    2. At the last his flippers
      scratched out kanji
      in the sand –
      a farewell message
      in Japanese

      my phone translates thusly
      from snow stroked
      and ribbed with salt:


      人々を しぐれよ宿は 寒くとも

      Hitobito wo/ Shigureyo yado wa/ Samuku tomo

      On the people,
      I hope drizzling winter rain,
      Even the house is cold.

  3. Morning everyone! Love this Shay! I can't wait to read Rob's and Qbits dead seal poem!! 🤓 Note: I have to work from home today cause of this week's weather. When I do it makes it hard for me to do anything else. So I will be back tonight. 😭

  9. Beverly, I tried to leave a comment at your blog but it didn't show up. Wonderful tribute poem to all of the Candys out there.

  10. There was no shortage of ideas to this image, so it took me a while to sort them out. In the end I went for fun, quirky, and paradoxical.
