  1. home at last

    home at last where the walls are rumbling,
    where the skies are crumbling,
    where sheets slicken with silken sheens
    blotting sicknesses so defiled,
    so revolting and reviled, where every
    bed has been made by me
    and made poorly; where
    long-dead carpenters measured once and cut
    twice, thrice, and again – the hourly
    wages docked for drinking and
    sent home before the work was done; all this
    is half-finished, all this
    is preamble to prologue. assembly guides
    for a world constructed before birth; the
    fabric stained in the bolts; the
    wood worm-eaten in the forest –
    and still, still, this
    is home at last.

  2. Late I Am, Blame it on Fate

    Or not, maybe

    Starting with Esther’s fun run.

    https://estherchilton.co.uk/2026/09/07/laughing-along-with-a-limerick

    Here’s a new limerick challenge for you. Your word this week is CHEW 

    Today I use these words to make a roux
    Something new and tasty for you to chew
    With no direction my brain silently cries
    Not my best answer but I'll give it a try
    If you don't like it, well boo-hoo-hoo

    What is this ?

    Torschlusspanik - toɐ̯ʃlʊsˈpanɪk
    Noun - The fear that time to act is running out.
    German, 1960s
    Staying in tune with limericks today
    I try to make sense while I still play
    Torschlusspanik is just Greek to me
    Time is slowly running out you see
    The fear of this is nothing new to me

    Psychagogic - ¦sīkə¦gäjik
    Adjective - Attractive, persuasive, inspiring.
    Greek, mid-19th century
    Another word that is new for me
    You are Psychagogic this I can see
    I serenade you with song and wine
    Letting you know I think you are fine
    Come here baby and sit on my knee

  7. precipitate

    from the roil,
    from the boil,
    the slush of forgetfulness
    frothing; the casting
    vapor wafting off;
    a hard and shining dust
    in the bottom of the pan –
    for now, not now, too hot to touch,
    but when it cools –
    when it cools –
    we’ll learn what exactly
    was drifting around in there.

  8. Poem: Stay Away Stay Away

    Stay away stay away 
    Stay away, darkness around him
    Darkness around you all, stay away
    There's nothing fruitful in it
    There's nothing wholesome in it
    There's nothing shaking in it,
    Waiting to come out
    It's all a “white tomb” inside
    And broods “of vipers”
    It's all dust and death so
    Stay away stay away

  9. fingers in the spokes

    there is an allowable amount of horror;
    a simmer agreed upon,
    a subset of families dragged
    away in the night, a volume of dogs
    shot point-blank by the state;
    human is the excuse-making animal.
    given a slow enough stalking
    even a flimsy doe will turn and scream
    and kick; will try anything
    to alert, to defend.
    but our threshold are high.
    the factory consumes hands;
    every day, one or many –
    but so long as the product is good,
    who bothers to care?

    Αφορμή ένα ρόδο του εσωτερικού κήπου. Με την ευωδια το χρώμα και την ομορφιά του θύμισε ζωή. | SearchingTheMeaningOfLife

    Αφορμή ένα ρόδο
    του εσωτερικού κήπου.
    Με την ευωδιά
    το χρώμα
    και την ομορφιά του
    θύμισε ζωή.
    Ήρθε απο πέρασμα
    με την πνοή
    το φως
    και το άγγιγμα του αέρα
    των εξωτερικών παραθύρων.


    Αν και αόρατα στις αισθήσεις,
    μιας κι είχα την ίδια ταχύτητα
    κι όμως έθρεψαν ζωή.

  19. Once More With —

    his eyes went glassy, glassy, grazing
    out in the back nine, his fingers reaching
    down and plucking mustard
    like they used to retrieve tees;
    the man with placid face has
    gone delicious; gone divine;
    become something more than man,
    something less than food,
    something caught in
    history’s mouth, something
    ground in the gullet of a tale
    as old as time.

    […]Αργόσχολοι πλούσιοι  Την κλέβουν  Από εσένα, εσένα κι εμένα  Καμιά ιδιωτικότητα  Ώσπου να ξεγυμνωθούν οι ίδιοι […]

    [Hellas | Veria 2025]

    Έτσι για να παίξουν
    Την αθέατη εξουσία
    Αδιάκριτοι
    Αργόσχολοι πλούσιοι
    Την κλέβουν
    Από εσένα, εσένα κι εμένα
    Καμιά ιδιωτικότητα
    Ώσπου να ξεγυμνωθούν οι ίδιοι
    Να πληγωθούν όπως πλήγωσαν
    Έτσι ξαφνικά.

  23. THE SIX THOUSAND GODS OF WISHFUL THINKING

    They are up there! All of them!
    They are watching us with
    half a span of attention, they
    are watching us and dawdling their phones,
    they are surprised how much we’re like them, but
    not with any familiarity; any fondness; the
    six thousand gods are pretty sure
    we’ll get out of this one, we
    always have in the past; the twelve thousand
    (less or more a few) eyes are drifting away,
    through the cool of space to some other
    place, with some other people:
    it’ll all turn out alright, probably,
    they’ll check back
    later, maybe,
    and see what’s left

  24. New poem about when I went to Norway when I was young and I watched some jellyfish float up to feed. The memory really stuck with me, along with the admiration for their existence. Link below:

    In the Deep: A Poem About Jellyfish, Memory, and Darkness

    It was an old memory.
    In Norway, with unrestrained daylight,
    and slugs horned and black, wiggling out of the stalks
    of my great aunt’s garden.
    Behind her lemon house, with leafy siding,
    waxy with uncensored sunlight.

    We’re on the sea for lunch, it is black, fathomless,
    the inky water clinging to the cliffs.
    On a patio, the wind is flag-tight, whipping,
    a sightless electric current howling.
    The smell is herring, crackers, beer, and cigarette smoke
    I’m eight-years-old, eating french fries with mayo.

    Our hosts promised me jellyfish.
    “Give it about an hour, they
    come up to feed, they’re down deep.”
    We wait, the sun a muddy pearl.
    There are slivers of chittering dolphins,
    slicing and dancing through the whitecaps.

    Then, they arrive.
    Rising, slowly, a time-lapse firework
    of living lace and fire, bloomed from a perfect abyss.
    Those halos ascending
    an endless rack of bioluminescent antlers
    threaded into themselves in pulses.

    I watched over the rail.
    The seagulls cackled. The waves banged.
    More, a herd, a cluster, a squadron of coalescing fabric.
    Shards of the underworld sun blossoming upwards.
    A true kaleidoscope crown spiking
    the gloom for all these floating kings and queens.

    Now, that evening by the bay
    is almost lost against my small life
    and its own vast ocean of dark moments.
    But, I’m still here
    remembering with teary eyes
    how those perfect stars

    were forged in the crushing darkness.

  26. “Attempt what is not certain. Certainty may or may not come later. It may then be a valuable delusion.” the great painter Richard Diebenkorn.

    An enjoyable article/blog about

  27. kathy acker: get rid of meaning

    https://p-u-n-c-h.ro/koenigbooks/kathy-acker-get-rid-of-meaning/
    American author Kathy Acker was one of the most influential writers of the 20th century. Working through an experimental and avant-garde tradition, she wrote numerous novels, essays, poems, and novellas from the early 1970s to the late 1990s. As a postmodernist, plagiarist, and post-punk feminist, she continues to inspire generations of writers, philosophers, and artists. The book GET RID OF MEANING, edited by Anja Casser and Matias Viegener, is the first comprehensive publication on Acker’s work from an artistic and literary perspective. It includes previously unpublished material from Acker’s personal archive and other collections. The publication is the compilation of a multipart research project including an exhibition and a symposium at Badischer Kunstverein in Karlsruhe.

  28. 童年的我,是一枚尚未被发现的月亮,悬在淡蓝色的晨空,薄薄的,像随时会被风吹散。

    那时以为河流会永远清澈,以为口袋里装满了星星。蹲在草丛里看一只甲虫渡河,竟觉得那是世上最庄严的远航。我对每一朵蒲公英说“不要飞走”,可风比誓言更轻。

    如今我站在这里,影子比身体更长。我学会了计算时间,却失去了数星星的耐心。我的口袋里只剩下一张揉皱的车票,和一枚不再发光的玻璃珠子。

    那个曾经用整个下午看云变形的孩子,正隔着玻璃看我。她仰起脸问:“你把我的星星弄丢了吗?”

    童年的地基上长出了陌生的高楼。可每到深夜,我仍能听见那扇木门吱呀作响,像谁在梦里轻轻叹息。

    记忆像一道我背对而行的光,每当我想回头,它就退得更远。我只能在自己的影子里,辨认曾经亮过的轮廓。

    有时候,我会把耳朵贴在往事的心口,听那个孩子还在唱歌。她的歌声那么细小,像一粒种子在冻土下呼吸。她对我说:
    “你往前走,别回头。我会一直在这里,替你保留所有没被说出口的愿望。”

    我知道,只要我还能在人群的缝隙里,偶尔想起一只甲虫的远航,我就没有完全变成另一个人。

  29. beneath one fern

    beneath the green a
    world of information; a
    universe of happenings, unknown
    to those big peoples –
    beneath one leaf a scent-trail,
    a hunt, a war, a
    thousand thousand crawling things
    that live and die
    like us,
    that survive
    like us,
    a sense of scale
    the same as us, with
    skyscraper oaks outside
    their homes;
    with grassy, dangerous fields and
    water clarifying in tracks as
    legible as crater-blasts;
    it is all happening always
    at every scale,
    lesser and greater.

  30. Searching The Meaning Of Life! (S.T.M.O.L) @searchingthemeaningoflife.wordpress.com@searchingthemeaningoflife.wordpress.com ·
  31. I'm going to put out a poetry zine in the next few months, I just need to figure out what I want to do for artwork (I'm not a very talented visual artist outside of photography) and write some new material cause I don't want to entirely rely on old poems, I want a mix.

  32. The I

    over and over and flying through
    the heaps; and under the
    shimmer of garbage, the
    sheen of filth; over and
    over it looks, it listens,
    it hears from up there,
    over, and over it
    glances left, right, center,
    and takes in nothing !
    and hears nothing !
    over it goes, over
    corpses of friends and
    foes, over corpses of
    the still-living, the
    still-dying, over !
    nothing is enough,
    for all is under !
    under !
    it flies, free,
    untouched!
    untouching!
