    The Hermit

    As he prowled the rim of his clearing
    where the blade of choice had not spared
    one stump of affection

    he was like a ploughshare
    interred to sustain the whole field
    of force, from the bitted

    and high-drawn sideways curve
    of the horse’s neck to the aim
    held fast in the wrists and elbows-

    the more brutal the pull
    and the drive, the deeper
    and quieter the work of refreshment.

    ~ Seamus Heaney

    These days I hermit like a mofo. Screw society. I take what I need and retreat to my space. Solitude, quiet.. Peaceful.

    I find that people become envious of my hermit ways. Men want to be me, women want to involve themselves with me. I have several women that try to keep in constant contact with me, and want to be a part of my life, because, “every man needs a woman’s touch.” I have been told this by several women. They just cannot fathom that a man does just fine, and even better, when there isn’t a woman in their life. Madness, haha.

    Men don’t need a woman’s touch, women f~~~ things up and then take half the spoils.

    I like that poem. The Hermit’s life suits me well. We are Sages in Solitude.
