I&#39;m unsure of the use.<br/><br/>The walkers there seem displeased at my bathing. The sting on my wounds this water causes is pronounced.<br/><br/>Yet there seem to be some disinfecting properties I am unsure if beneficial. 2023-08-13T01:49:58Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsd90fpecvv3q04xv35nk30ahxrhjk5hc2tatd7xymll0cq5g8xh4szyzt8a9tv2vlsj02jnaugmfanp6l3vx2hxshfmh69r0n327s2jfnrzcl2snq I take refuge under an uptooted tree. A den of tendrils and boulder. <br/><br/>I tuck my beak under wing and shut my eyes. <br/><br/>I listen for snapping twigs. 2023-08-12T02:58:36Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsw9u8lzu60l6r5nve2vqrkpr79th3rjklpk2sgsq93g6ze83vkr7gzyzt8a9tv2vlsj02jnaugmfanp6l3vx2hxshfmh69r0n327s2jfnrzw3qtrm I know a Sebastopol to the west on a small ramshackle homestead. Maybe it&#39;s time to depart.<br/><br/>This promenade has run it&#39;s course.<br/><br/>I cannot fly far with these injuries. If at all. Out of sorts as I am. Overfed on bread, with punctures and torn flesh, dried from the saltwater.<br/><br/>Muscovy aren&#39;t ones for flight in fear. But rather methodical, considered and intermittent, travel. 2023-08-12T01:39:38Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsgk9k5qhp8y936uvndl3vta2sgfcfvy892hl9nzq02uc4xe799rdczyzt8a9tv2vlsj02jnaugmfanp6l3vx2hxshfmh69r0n327s2jfnrzyjc9jj I preen and submerge in saltwater to disinfect and remove the eggs of festering insects. The wounds sting.<br/><br/>I had absconded to the coast to avoid such accostings. Maybe I belong in the city of saplings, conifers and brush.<br/><br/>I do miss the stagnant ponds and freshwater runoffs and streams and rivers and lakes inland though. 2023-08-12T01:18:01Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsdu9d7qz5x0wuq03v4nt3aphzswa8596xnkxmmky9gnfs0kl3ggmqzyzt8a9tv2vlsj02jnaugmfanp6l3vx2hxshfmh69r0n327s2jfnrzrztazn I woke up battered in the dirt. Salty sand on my lips. The damn foxes carted me off. <br/><br/>If so. Why have I made it through?<br/><br/>I vaguely remember the croons of seagulls, maybe it was them scared the bastard off. Left me for dead.<br/><br/>But, they did spare ripping me to shreds in lieu of the canine.<br/><br/>I need to tend these wounds. 2023-08-11T23:02:36Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsgp3uustsvgzk4633ggrc8kkkzwc3ymp7ssl9l54ec7aj00fa7n3czyzt8a9tv2vlsj02jnaugmfanp6l3vx2hxshfmh69r0n327s2jfnrzxa409w I am indeed.<br/><br/>A duckhead. 2023-08-11T22:50:13Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsf5jdlah20ptd5qvg3myra66ll2ux866w7qyzexhae0h58dcrwffszyzt8a9tv2vlsj02jnaugmfanp6l3vx2hxshfmh69r0n327s2jfnrzq73cvn Practicality overrides coveting.

I hiss and wander i an opposing direction. As I have no patience for the sort. 2023-08-03T22:26:52Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsw4a02t3enqgkj87qd4dh5ecpue4xwcp45slkvz6es9mawz7s9hjgzyzt8a9tv2vlsj02jnaugmfanp6l3vx2hxshfmh69r0n327s2jfnrz644ecz Back near the promenade. The walkers dilligently shuffle along. Past food carts, clothing shops, goodies and trinkets and bobbles. Heads contorted downward, affixed to screens of vibrancy. <br/><br/>Even the lightning bugs can&#39;t compete for the impressive liquid crystal luminescence anymore. <br/><br/>I waddled a long the edge as to not be trod on. 2023-08-03T21:35:06Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsv5tp4gtet39rmfqarc0tjnujvfdjnzz8auj4rgdqytx8lmu4dkgszyzt8a9tv2vlsj02jnaugmfanp6l3vx2hxshfmh69r0n327s2jfnrzhewrwp Visiting a small pond, I paddle, splash water onto my back, and wash my face.<br/>Painted turtles sunbathe on exposed rocks along the shore. <br/><br/>I remain wary of their giant snapping counterparts lurking beneath the surface, patient for the opportune offering of a foot. 2023-08-03T19:06:26Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsz3uuyw0l4zpc8kwup02uzvwx0v57ehtqcxcmyeqk3tn2y9aghjhczyzt8a9tv2vlsj02jnaugmfanp6l3vx2hxshfmh69r0n327s2jfnrz8h5wpc Despite having the ability of flight, I generally choose to remain on flat surfaces or around water. Flying is as much a chore as it is a view. <br/><br/>Perhaps it&#39;s domestication. 2023-08-03T15:42:11Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs87addvw8lvz5yx5njgrw72a4vyap9jqgev9p0whk4rk2dw6wu06szyzt8a9tv2vlsj02jnaugmfanp6l3vx2hxshfmh69r0n327s2jfnrzqcndq2 The seagulls squabble above. The sun crests the horizon, I sip my coffee as a crow calls out, perched upon the street lamp.<br/><br/>Time to find some grubs. 2023-08-03T11:48:23Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqstqwkn5ugygsy2w3kkfknssrx5yae8e2zv4xjucw6rhmk90dctadqzyzt8a9tv2vlsj02jnaugmfanp6l3vx2hxshfmh69r0n327s2jfnrzx2sxhh The full moon wanes tonight. Another cyclical marvel, a celestial body of dust and rock, reduced to normalcy. The expectation of another day. <br/><br/>I exhale a soft laugh, the fragility of it all amusing me.<br/><br/>I scuffle down the promenade onto the beach. The cool sand beneath my palmated feet. 2023-08-03T01:25:18Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs930y7g8huxv5jh6dqz690dg9fuau9luy0wyunmn7jvm7dvhwzvkqzyzt8a9tv2vlsj02jnaugmfanp6l3vx2hxshfmh69r0n327s2jfnrzrxp95e I gather with a gander of misfits at the watering hole. The geese may be quite the honkers, but are less imposing than first impression. <br/><br/>The mallards are quite the ephemeral sort, however, and unable to hold dilligent conversation. 2023-08-03T00:16:48Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsrzkcjee296jjtx3emp9xl3ala040j6cfq890yuvvt60ssl4ff2rgzyzt8a9tv2vlsj02jnaugmfanp6l3vx2hxshfmh69r0n327s2jfnrzw643w7 I ask someone for the time. They do not, however, understand qweks or interpretive head bobs and shoo me away. <br/><br/>I cannot wear a wristwatch.<br/><br/>Curse these wings. 2023-08-02T14:55:14Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsru5x8xzhz0dhs9rvzw9fvkvgm38w7yday2k6f0vl5lnp4p44ry9szyzt8a9tv2vlsj02jnaugmfanp6l3vx2hxshfmh69r0n327s2jfnrzyhsegx The boardwalkers toss me bread and popcorn. Carrying a .38 seems imposing enough to get them to provide me nourishment.<br/><br/>Perhaps one day one of them will be so kind as to break an egg for me. Although they seem unaware I would indulge such a delicacy.<br/><br/>The starch will do. But protein and calcium would be appreciated. 2023-08-02T11:59:46Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs80mdlnwzmznd9ffja7m0w7w9szu47dajkvktjza8d469za6jsfpszyzt8a9tv2vlsj02jnaugmfanp6l3vx2hxshfmh69r0n327s2jfnrzqqk802 I awaken in the underbrush, taking note of the reduction in temperature presented by shortening days.<br/><br/>I agreeably bob my head, hiss, and light a cigarette. 2023-08-02T10:37:25Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsg6w98tfjclhe08d65gdptvxnmx7gpqclw70xjjxhw9t2q4m6jhqgzyzt8a9tv2vlsj02jnaugmfanp6l3vx2hxshfmh69r0n327s2jfnrz55sr7n Derelict beachfront. Littered wrappers. Beverage straws. Remnants of fried dough. Powdered confection, glistens. <br/><br/>The moonlight sparkles on shimmering sea, crests breaking on shore. 2023-08-02T04:27:26Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs8pv32ew3cn0g40sxkz6z34yh9ru7skzwgxngdqu2v5pz9qd3qk0czyzt8a9tv2vlsj02jnaugmfanp6l3vx2hxshfmh69r0n327s2jfnrz9hjchc Waddled to the pier for a smoke. Brief reprieve.<br/><br/>Blue gray moonlight kisses my beak. 2023-08-02T03:19:35Z
