  3. "I tear colonizing rhizomes
    from my rented rectangle of allotted earth
    and they regenerate as my hands cramp
    and bleed."

  4. "Late summer mornings
    I slept in your side, in the sun,
    and to all your wishes in my sleep I wished 'Yes.'"

  5. As I mentioned, I kinda bit off a bit more than I can chew reading-wise this month (there are worse problems, right?), so I'm not going to be able to juggle Proust *and* #TheSealeyChallenge. Instead, I'll reprise some of my past #SealeyChallenge posts and those of others ...

  10. OK, I think I have this figured out.

    I've recently taken on the genuinely delightful challenge of reading Proust's In Search of Lost Time (Moncrieff/Kilmartin/Enright 6-volume edition tinyurl.com/2s47sx9p).

    I want to focus and keep up good momentum on this literary adventure ... which forces me to admit I can't do that *and* #TheSealeyChallenge poetry challenge in August.

  21. 28/31: NO MEETING WITHOUT BODY by Annick MacAskill (@annickmacaskill) (2018 Gaspereau Press) tinyurl.com/bdvyjnfe

    "God bless it all, the whir, a sound like
    promises and winter,

    through Sherbourne and Castle Frank;
    rarely are you this far east.

    End of the day and you still love him,
    him and his *fucking blue eyes.*"

  31. 26/31: THE LIFE OF TU FU by Eliot Weinberger (2024 New Directions) tinyurl.com/54vk9cm6

    "Here the men sit and the women stand; the men stay home and the women climb the mountains, collecting firewood.

    The landscape is beautiful, the weather terrible, and they call their temple Taking Poison."
