100 words, memory of a dream

In my dream I bit my tongue. A fragment of a thread left dangling in my mouth, and I nagged at it with my teeth and my cheek. Eventually my tongue began to unravel like a ball of yarn. I felt the fragment with my fingertips. I tried to break off the thread. I kept pulling on it, like magic scarves until the yarn was in a pile in my lap. Then I wrapped the yarn around jars so I could make skeins, like my nana taught me. When I woke up the jars had floated halfway to the ceiling.

compost

I started writing again in November. I want to keep it up. I'm convinced at this point we all could use a little more compost.

I want to write some short composts. And would love to have company, but it's ok if you don't feel like it.

First up, 100 words. May never go past 100.
