'Besotted, greedy, jealous
to save every bloom, leaf, for me this more than

I call flower not weed.'

Starting with today's post on my favorite American poem, Sarah Piatt's 'The Palace-Burner' (1873), & how its depictions of identity & empathy push past any easy 'us vs. them' narratives of Communism. #todayspoem

On #MayDay24 , needing prophecy,
I happen to be reading Balladz:

“and yet I am also the far older
god who said, I am not what I seem.
I am bathing, in clear light this May
day, her luscious body.”

can be things, that each decision shrinks
the pained mind to the space
