  6. tonight wake

    tonight   wake
    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

  8. 📚 Station Eleven by: Emily St. John Mandel

    Kirsten Raymonde will never forget the night Arthur Leander, the famous Hollywood actor, had a heart attack on stage during a production of King Lear. That was the night when a devastating flu pandemic arrived in the city, and within weeks, civilization as we know it came to an end.

    Twenty years later, Ki...

  9. from the via


    from the via
    francigena out of rome

    the dust of the road
    layered the sweat in my shirt that dried
    thirty one days of august deep

    one of the first days in september
    with the waist shallow
    water of the torrente fersina
    i scrubbed my face

  13. ask if his mother lives

    ask if his mother lives

    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

    in jerusalem the church of the assumption
    it’s said to be her tombstone

  15. 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.

  16. ask every man for his name

    ask every man for his name

    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

  21. paracelsus arrived

    paracelsus arrived
    before the south gate
    was unlocked

    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

  22. 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.

  23. 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.

  29. "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."
    -- from Lily King's story collection Five Tuesdays in Winter, for Book Quote Wednesday, the theme is love.
