Stay.
There are
Still stars
We haven’t
Wished upon,
And dreams
Undreamt
Await.

GLAZED GLITTER. Nickel, what is nickel, it is originally rid of a cover.

May the obscenity
Of my silence
Greet the audacity
Of your words
Like a sledgehammer

BREAKFAST. ¶11 A bent way that is a way to declare that the best is all together, a bent way shows no result, it shows a slight restraint, it shows a necessity for retraction.

Cure


I need to feel wind,
driving rain, and tides, again,
to wash my spirit;
I hope, to cleanse me of all
this life never should have known.

No cut in pennies and little dressing and choose wide soles and little spats really little spices.
A little lace makes boils. This is not true.
Gracious of gracious and a stamp a blue green white bow a blue green lean, lean on the top.
If it is absurd then it is leadish and nearly set in where there is a tight head.

This is a
Conduit
Through
Which I
Can hold
You for
Just a
Moment.
Hello, you
Are loved.

I’ve got
Bruises
Where you
Refuse to
Let go
That might
As well be
Nebulae.

Every time
I’ve thought
“I want to
Die,” what
I really
Meant was
“I want to
Live.”

A CUTLET. A blind agitation is manly and uttermost.

MILK. ¶6 Tender colds, seen eye holders, all work, the best of change, the meaning, the dark red, all this and bitten, really bitten.

Art by Ravi Zupa.

Inspired by the poem “Do not go gentle into that good night” by Dylan Thomas. The general consensus of the poem is that it is about being on the threshold of and not conceding to death.

How timely.

Don’t Read Poetry by Stephanie Burt

The cover of Burt's Don't Read Poetry. It shows what looks like an uprooted daffodil. #poetry #poetrycommunity I have been working through books on reading, writing, and teaching poetry in preparation for writing a new poetry module. In this post I will review Stephanie Burt’s Don’t Read Poetry: A Book about How to Read Poetry. I’ll put the conclusion up front: I think it’s great.
