Pigeon

When I worked at a hospital
during the great isolation,
my “covid bubble” included
those trying to live normally,
those prone to misfortune,
the hands I held in silent stillness,
those sick and dying,
the pallor completion
of their loved ones grieving,
and the nights I kept watch.

Two Mourning Doves, beige soft-looking birds with long tails and pink feet, sit on top of a shepherd's hook bird feeder that is decorated with a metal bird. The doves are sitting so close to each other they are touching, which is super cute and why I took a feeder picture in some random neighbor's yard.

The bird photos will continue until morale improves

The Bronze Age Witch-king of Angmar. He is invisible but wears a huge horned helmet with eyeholes, a heavy segmented breastplate, and a pair of shin guards, all patinad to hell and back.

Okay you've been good so here's the Witch-king's shell of rot and verdigris

Ginger. Pie was here too, but got too excited, stepped backwards without paying attention and fell off the sill

I thought I'd be more torn up about everything, but the place I loved didn't exist anymore. I found myself trying to recreate that love out of memory every morning.

I'm glad I can stop pretending.

More importantly, I have space to focus on game design exclusively for a while.

Exciting, right?

Thank you so much for this beautiful piece. I can't wait to post some pictures of it in action on the battlefield.

Another Coopuccino eye update. Seems basically healed at this point! They're very resilient

Pigeon looking at me expectantly.

Pigeon now staring at me in disbelief.

Pigeon sitting atop my boot: "Nice knot you got in this shoelace here."

Pigeon untying my shoelace.

A Greggs pigeon, believing I am holding out on him, attempts to intimidate me into giving him food by untying my shoelace. True story.

Screenshot of https://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/The_Hobbit_(1967_stage_adaptation), with the following text highlighted: Carpenter wrote: "I remember vividly when he came to see the show, held in the tiny school hall. He sat near the front, and since I was playing the double bass in the orchestra, I was able to watch his reactions. These were very simple: he had a broad smile on his face whenever the narration and dialogue stuck to his own words, which was replaced by a frown the moment there was the slightest departure from the book."

Tolkien attending an adaptation of The Hobbit in a tiny school auditorium, sitting in the front row, and smiling and nodding when the play matches the book, then rapidly frowning and shaking his head when there's any slight deviation, has me literally loling aloud.

What's the recipe? I've got a lot of dates I need to use up.

More sprues. If all of Dain’s forces were equipped the same, with their beards tucked into their belts and each carrying a heavy pack… maybe their belt buckles and packs were different?
