Ok...
(I've been extra crabby lately...rain, rain and more rain, shoulder pain, knee pain, no sleep, big changes coming at work, lack of sunshine...blah, blah, blah.)
So, here's more of my nightcrawling photos....
Enjoy.
“Oh God, midnight’s not bad, you wake and go back to sleep, one or two’s
not bad, you toss but sleep again. Five or six in the morning, there’s
hope, for dawn’s just under the horizon. But three, now, Christ, three
A.M.! Doctors say the body’s at low tide then. The soul is out. The
blood moves slow. You’re the nearest to dead you’ll ever be save dying.
Sleep is a patch of death, but three in the morn, full wide-eyed
staring, is living death! You dream with your eyes open. God, if you had
strength to rouse up, you’d slaughter your half-dreams with buckshot!
But no, you lie pinned to a deep well-bottom that’s burned dry. The moon
rolls by to look at you down there, with its idiot face. It’s a long
way back to sunset, a far way on to dawn, so you summon all the fool
things of your life, the stupid lovely things done with people known so
very well who are now so very dead – And wasn’t it true, had he read
somewhere, more people in hospitals die at 3 A.M. than at any other
time...”
