I come to you to help me forget

The brutal and barren world that surrounds me.

I come to you to help me remember

The parts of myself that I have buried and cannot uncover on my own.

Like a desert, my body feels scorched and desolate;

Tightly-strung sinews stretch between sun-bleached bones.

Parched and thirsty,

I want to dig a deep well in this arid land.

I am lost and I am seeking the oasis:

This internal haven that I know is here, but cannot find.

I want to be veiled in your paisley sun-warmed sheets,

Anointed with a caravan of aromatic oils:

cloves, eucalyptus, and lavender.

As you begin to stroke and knead your fingers

over my ravaged terrain,

A flood of memory rises from the reservoir beneath:

A hidden wellspring flows

to slake and refresh my thirsty soul.

Your hands lay out a banquet of many delectable flavors,

My body eagerly feasts at your table.

I breathe deep and then deeper,

The tides of my breath rise and fall

like the wind over hot sand.

You are Scheherazade, your fingers spin mesmerizing tales.

I sway beneath your palms and drift

into foreign and forgotten places.

My thoughts skip like a stone,

Skimming the watery edge of the vast sea of my unconscious mind.

My body forgets and remembers, and I sigh with pleasure.

In this verdant sanctuary

Pain, like a mirage, has dissolved.

I shed my dry and armored skin like a snake,

I forget the brutalities of the world, and

I remember the peace and solace that are always within.

    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
    • Well, we got our answer on Army today.
    • Not a chance the SEC could compete with the NFL.  In the large cities that are not in the Southeast, (LA, NYC, Chicago, SF) College football is an afterthought.
