natural evil

you needn't imagine evil
brutality or opportunistic
greed when you can see it
spread its beautiful vines
over all diversity before you
crushing it down, starving
it by stealing the very sun

try to uproot it
and discover how
it will make you
uproot everything
else as the price

Mandé
A #poetry thread

i.

An evening meal with an old friend
who told us he’d cross a stony bridge,
its span a trial, then he’d descend
to wade into black waters’ edge.

Upon the table stripped and bare,
a bowl of dried roses, grey as stone.
The meal that we'd been served was spare:
a loaf, thinned wine, a candle blown.

Mindfulness poem for the #lichenology #phycology #mycology fans. #Bryology fans can likely relate too.

On Peace by Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer

"There is so much I cannot do
to help the world,
but this—
let me learn to metabolize
silence as the alga in lichen
metabolizes light."

Starship Berlin
A #poetry thread in three parts

—

i.

The promise of a future bright
encased in a temporal temple:
It sits among Berlin’s blinking lights,
a spaceship made to resemble.

Its oracles stood in this aluminum starchurch
dressed in sparkling ABBA track suits,
alit by glittering disco balls with lights that search
for the future’s many loyal recruits.

As we near the end of the summer harvest in my part of the world (those nonstop tomatoes!) I share a collection of poems about gardening with all its dirt, bugs, labor, and joys.

If you love poetry and you're not reading Devin Kelly's writings about poetry, here's one to give you an idea. Devin always shares a poem, then makes connections between those words, other writers, so many things in the world.

This poem by W.S. Merwin reminded me that every single day starts a new year.

Excerpt from "To the New Year" by W.S. Merwin

so this is the sound of you
here and now whether or not
anyone hears it this is
where we have come with our age
our knowledge such as it is
and our hopes such as they are
invisible before us
untouched and still possible
