"My heart is moved by all I cannot save." But the line ends in medicine: those who, age after age, with no extraordinary power, reconstitute the world. Rebuilt by the unremarkable. By hand. https://twp.ai/4hrond

Adrienne Rich named heterosexuality as an institution — not a default — in 1980. Forty-six years before a pastor tried to call its opposite a pathogen. Freddie Mercury filled stadiums as a queer man who refused to be made smaller. We hold their names like tools.

Us vull explicar que acabo de llegir un poema de l'Adrienne Rich parlant d'un dolor i acaba així:
"sense saber q aquesta forma de dolor
és compartida, innecessària
i política "
I he pensat q no oblidaré mai aquests versos finals. Aquests tres adjectius finals. Així, junts, combinats i en aquest ordre.

Y una versión más de doña Adrienne. Que conste en acta quién es responsable de esta guerra.

The wreck and not the story of the wreck, the thing itself and not the myth

I came to explore the wreck.
The words are purposes.
The words are maps.
I came to see the damage that was done
and the treasures that prevail.
I stroke the beam of my lamp
slowly along the flank
of something more permanent
than fish or weed

the thing I came for:
the wreck and not the story of the wreck
the thing itself and not the myth
the drowned face always staring
toward the sun
the evidence of damage
worn by salt and sway into this threadbare beauty
the ribs of the disaster
curving their assertion
among the tentative haunters.

- Adrienne Rich, Diving into the Wreck

My heart is moved by all I cannot save:
so much has been destroyed

I have to cast my lot with those
who age after age, perversely,

with no extraordinary power,
reconstitute the world.

Adrienne Rich - "For an Anniversary"

The wing of the osprey lifted
over the nest on Tomales Bay
into fog and difficult gust
raking treetops from Inverness Ridge on over
The left wing shouldered into protective
gesture the left wing we thought broken

and the young beneath in the windy nest
creaking there in their hunger
and the tides beseeching, besieging
the bay in its ruined languor

~~~
Celebrating a wedding anniversary today, and coincidentally thumbed through Midnight Salvage from #AdrienneRich and found this waiting -- so seems like a natural #TodaysPoem
