Porter's Notebook
The Januariad it over, and we say farewell There is silence in the streets, now too much peace in the heart and so we beat the drums to call down the spirits to give us a turn, raise our hair and tumble us for the ages. Beat at the drum, scream at the sky and beg for perdition to rain down like hail. All so that we may tell a story in turn. We’ve been given peace, So we beg for strife and beat at the drum Scream at the sky And cringe under the silence, even as we fill our wells with ink And sharpen the nibs of our pens with the knives from our boots -illustration by Paul Weber

The Januariad it over, and we say farewell
There is silence in the streets, now too much peace in the heart
and so we beat the drums
to call down the spirits
to give us a turn,
raise our hair and tumble us for the ages.
Beat at the drum,
scream at the sky
and beg for perdition to rain down like hail.
All so that we may tell a story in turn.
We’ve been given peace,
So we beg for strife and
beat at the drum
Scream at the sky
And cringe under the silence,
even as we fill our wells with ink
And sharpen the nibs of our pens with the knives from our boots
