three for the weight

Brood: think moodily or anxiously about something. hang over, as of something threatening, dark, or menacing; "The terrible vision." brooded over her all day long. sulk: be in a huff and display one's displeasure; "She is pouting because she didn't get what she wanted". grizzle: be in a huff; be silent or sullen. sit on (eggs); "Birds brood"; "The female covers the eggs". the young of an animal cared for at one time.

Luck: fortune: your overall circumstances or condition in life (including everything that happens to you); "whatever my fortune may be". an unknown and unpredictable phenomenon that causes an event to result one way rather than another; "bad luck caused his downfall"; "we ran into each other by pure chance". an unknown and unpredictable phenomenon that leads to a favorable outcome; "it was my good luck to be there"; "they say luck is a lady"; "it was as if fortune guided his hand".

Port: put or turn on the left side, of a ship; "port the helm". bring to port; "the captain ported the ship at night". a place (seaport or airport) where people and merchandise can enter or leave a country. carry, bear, convey, or bring; "The small canoe could be ported easily". sweet dark-red dessert wine originally from Portugal. carry or hold with both hands diagonally across the body, especially of weapons; "port a rifle". an opening (in a wall or ship or armored vehicle) for firing through drink port; "We were porting all in the club after dinner". modify (software) for use on a different machine or platform. interface: (computer science) computer circuit consisting of the hardware and associated circuitry that links one device with another (especially a computer and a hard disk drive or other peripherals).

Brooding is the past time of depression. Brooding is the lack of a challenge, the empty silent lot, the hole, the lost, the bend, the bale. I brood. But when I do and I know it and the fire is raging for movement and I am contained, the brooding must be put to death or to use. Fuck. "The female covers the eggs." What a thing. God will not make all of it possible.

Luck is my enemy. I hold luck like a hammer. "Save the Rose." Luck is the cracked banister and the cold ascent. Luck are my words to you. Luck is the chance. Luck, the opportunity. Luck has come to strangle you. Luck has come to set you free. Lucky. Lucky one. Lucky domestic one. Luck, my lover, luck.

Port, a choice. Sweet dark dessert red wine. Port is the empty moment before the strike. The first to ascend. The last out. Port, my motion this way and that. Port, the field. Port, the dire. Dear God, wait with me here.
