when late winter returns
home your inmate
in your nightgown
with your candle kneel
beside your bed and shiver
after you go to bed
after you go to sleep
when the horizon's become a purse
that today's early summer's
returned her sun to
when the warm breath
of today's spring's been
expelled from your chamber into the
late winter's dawn at dusk
the cold air seeps into your cell through
gaps between the casing and the shutter
between the door frame and the door
through cracks
in mortar and masonry he oozes
in inhaled
the late winter returns
home not to warm you out of your bed
but to freeze you in -

story is she died
her corpse laid out on a bench carved
into the rock of
a grave at the foot of the mount of olives
another story is her body was taken
from there up
reunited with what had fled from dying

it’s said to be her tombstone -

I've finished: I Cheerfully Refuse by Leif Enger
While I Cheerfully Refuse hits most of the usual post apocalyptic genre tropes, it is no regular post apocalyptic adventure novel.
Rainy is a quietly competent protagonist, and viewing this dystopian world from his perspective is what setts this novel apart.
Reminiscent of Station 11, it is a more literary work.
Literally (Actually) pitting Rainy and Lark, with her used book shop, against the illiterate anti-intellectualists.

the one who proves
his age by a historic injury
closed in the palm of his hand
or by an ancient wound healed
through the heel of his foot
who proves his age by an old
scar speared blindly into the soft
flesh over his hip by
longinus whose bones long ago
became the moist dust in a fertile field
the one who proves his age ask
if he’s come to the end of the world -

while he waited
to ask the watchman
if the pestilence had come
to wittenberg before he had
the east gate
was opened like an eye
and the morning’s early sun
that had risen from where it waited
its shining entered
the town like a tide -
Wrote a blog post where I actually define what I write. Doesn't sound too challenging until you actually try it. About time after about 13 years doing this. Better late than never.

~ Must-Read ~
Which #Literary Classic would you recommend for someone to read at least once in their lifetime? -
It's been fascinating learning from author Amra Pajalic as to how she's used writing and small business grants to propel her writing career in both fiction and non-fiction. It's also been fun diving into her creative works - love the anthologies she's been a part of too.
Has anyone else had literary/creative/small biz success by pursuing grants? would be great to hear from you.

"I don't know how other people do it, not stay with the girl whose ankle socks made your stomach flip at age 14, whose wet hair smells like your past – – the girl who was with you the very moment you were introduced to happiness."
