Canadian poetry peeps:
I am looking for a poem. The first line is something like "The triangular fingernails of March penetrate the skin..." Last line, "Where you can die from going outside."
Canadian poet, lived up north, died relatively young.
Google and ChatGPT are no help.

DHS has launched a nationwide campaign to investigate and prosecute naturalized citizens who may have improperly voted in past elections — an effort spurring deep concern that the admin's true goal is to intimidate voters from participating in future elections.

Memo shows White House directing DHS to hunt for voter fraud by naturalized citizens
Agents will be required to turn over names of immigrants who voted before they became citizens — and then explain to the White House why they weren’t charged with a crime.

I don’t do Ash Wednesday anymore. Instead, on this day every year, I learn a new piece of Gnostic scripture.
This year, it’s the Gospel of Thomas saying 70: “If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you.”

I've been seeing a lot of people disparaging democracy as a failure. It has not failed us. We however as a nation have been failing it.
For it to succeed, it needs an engaged and informed populace. Which is why those who want power but not responsibility, attack Free speech and public education

We completely obliterated Iran’s nuclear program. It’s gone. Fake news will never admit this.
So anyway, we have to send hundreds of billions of dollars worth of equipment to the Middle East and have a major war to stop Iran from building nuclear weapons.
