The omnipresence of bats has begun. I await the night and the wings that motor its coming. Their lateral spirals flush the day away through the Coriolis force of flapping. Craig once said my skillet of rough-torn collard greens looked like a pile of bat wings, and now I can’t cut the vegetal ribs without thinking of mammal bone and spread of skin.
I think this is may be your best ever, Trilety--gorgeous prose. “The night was obstinate in its stillness” will stick with me. And though I hope to never go on a first date again, if I ever do, it will be at a billiard hall.
During my birthday my friends and I watched a first date at a pool hall. The really funny aspect of it was that the dude was legitimately interested in the game, whereas the girl kept trying to signal that she was interested in what came after.
Hahaha funny that you and your friends were able to pick up on something that the date didn't haha, or actually that's both dates not picking up on the other's interests haha
You packed an awful lot of profound observations ( I particularly liked the little billiard hall tip!.. being a keen player myself, and knowing how true your words are!!👏😀), into so few words. Truly inspirational work! 🙏✍️⭐️many thanks for brightening my day.🌤️
Fantastic. And "successive scrapes of electric sandpaper" is perfect.
Oh thank you Charles, especially for calling out that one description! And of course, it must have been fun to realize you were the "friend" :)

Thank you, babe!

Thank you so much, really appreciate your words! And now you'll have to regale me with the other lessons that come from billiards!
