moon of the morning
shines through my ice-laced window
more than I can bear

View through a large window laced with ice fractals, which form a sort of frame for the garden beyond, which is covered with light snow and frost. A clump of trees to the right alongside the garden meet at hedge that marks the garden boundary. Beyond this hedge is a frost fields with more hedge at the horizon. The sky is dawn, a light orange-pink, with the full moon toward the top left of the photo.

By now you've probably heard enough from me about this book. 😎 You might even want a copy. You can get one here: asterismbooks.com/product/beco... Or for a signed copy, send me a DM.
Cover image of book, Becoming Altar, New and Selected Poems by Kyla Houbolt. Book is turquoise blue with yellow type and white on the spine. Pretty thing! Smack It was the red lipstick era, the time of skillets and aprons, permed hair, gelid poems wafting sentimentally around the joint, like cigarette smoke. Oh the good old. I rustle in the bottom of a battered purse, maybe there's still a tube of red lipstick in there. All dried out. Still, I paint some on. Lips. What a weird body part. Let's decorate them! Someone once said. So we did.

The first medical evacuees from Gaza have entered Egypt as the Rafah crossing reopens. Monday’s opening is a key step in the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas but mostly symbolic as few Palestinians will be allowed to cross in either direction daily.

We didn't say body cams on ICE. Their murders are already on video. We said no more ICE.

Yesterday I was in a room packed full of MPs imploring govt to rethink its proposed changes to ILR rules for migrants

Govt is planning to make unfair retrospective changes that are racist & classist

These would devastate the lives of many who have made this country their home

This ukiyo-e print titled ‘Inviting Fortune’ by Toyohara Chikanobu (1889) depicts the Setsubun mamemaki (bean-throwing) ritual undertaken to banish misfortune and welcome good luck for the year ahead.
