lacto-fermentation

My current fascination. Cultured drinks and vegetables, so easy to create, and brimming with life (literally). So far I've grown my own scoby, begun brewing kombucha, lacto-fermented homemade kimchi, nixtamalized organic corn and eaten the ensuing polenta and tortillas, begun brewing wild yeast via a sourdough starter... tomorrow I get two gallons of raw milk to begin experimenting with whey, grass-fed butter, and kefir.

to blog is to whistle in the dark

make a show of bravery despite one's fears

speak of something despite having little knowledge of it

 (e.g. oneself)

betwixt

Here, where the world is quiet,
there are other sounds.
 The iris of the storm
a pound of flesh
carved from the dust
hedged behind and before.
Here, a company waits upon their Maker,
smiling at grief.

Here, where the world is quiet

Such a bleary poem, for such an auspicious opening line.

I think I'll rescue it in a poem of my own.
