Let me be holy and warm.
Let me be the exhale. The best wine.
The wish on every eyelash.

Parthenogenesis
When my mother was young, she feared
she was such a good Christian girl
God might grow his new son inside her
like we plow seeds into the garden
without asking the soil its thoughts
on plumping up pumpkins & peas.
& who would believe her? Sister
of the town's worst poison-headed
hooligans, she tried to do enough
good to make up for their transgressions:
joined a church that forbade dancing
finished her homework, said her prayers
as if a family's fate balanced on a seesaw
& she could keep her brothers from
flinging off through the stratosphere
& never returning to her on earth
from ether's heights. In New England
Aquarium, an anaconda has borne fruit
of only her making. No contact with males—
her body wanted a child & made one.
Wonder of wonders, a child with only her
DNA slithers into the world. I haven't
conjured any miracles out of myself yet
in this lifetime. I fear I never will
be a witch or a martyr. That I won't be good
or bad enough to warrant progeny
or remembrance. I used to want to turn
my pain into wine stains & watercolors
but now I want it not to touch
anyone, to keep it from brushing
my love's arm. What if all I want
is quiet, a dog at my feet, television
remote in hand, half a turkey sandwich
with light mayo & orange cheese—
who will sing for me? Often I hope
nobody will. I'd like a good long sleep.
— Stevie Edwards

The Morland Family Album: Volume V
Catherine and Jane are growing old gracefully.
Morning, mum!
Ooh!
My game’s first-ever puppies born to a family!
And here they are - Midge and Pip - along with proud mum Penny.
Everyone loves the little bundles of fun.
But unfortunately there isn’t room in the house to keep them both, so we must bid farewell to Midge.
One last playtime with dad Stevie...
before it’s finally time to say goodbye to him as well. So long, Stevie, you were a doggy ray of sunshine.
Life, of course, moves on. Youngest child Sally gets to know Edward - over a discussion of toilet habits, quite appropriately in the bathroom.
Pip - Son of Stevie - grows up into a fine-looking hound.
Pip’s stats:
~ Sagittarius
~ Genius / Lazy / Friendly
And the family is still a happy one.
Penny seems to have rather taken to motherhood, and is keen to do it all over again! (The father was a passing stray, whose name I can’t now recall!)
Lily, George and Zippy (I honestly have no idea which is which) - looking a lot like their mum!
Older brother Pip seems to approve.
But adorable as they are, five dogs in this tiny house is far too many.
I’m so sorry, Catherine!
We do still have little Lily left at home though.

Ngl, when the Chain by Fleetwood Mac came on the first time I watched episode 8, I had trouble paying attention to what was going on. It’s one of my fav songs, I was busy jamming 😅
