Back on my visual poetry nonsense. #poetry
Wrote this a few days ago while I was thinking a lot about how our country's hard fist (fed gov) doesn't want to help the hungry and how our country's open hands (states, localities, local communities) show up to feed the hungry.

In other gaming news, sometimes when alone in my house I will now just randomly say "Clair Obscure!" in the most exaggerated French accent possible and it's very satisfying.

First in the process of reposting my visual poetry from Instagram. Written while redoing my deck, a rare project that was beautiful in process.
Once I've reposted all, I'll be deleting Insta and using this platform to post any future visual poetry.

Gardening has become my most reliable source of endorphins. Got a camellia, her name is Charlene, installed a privacy screen, now spending a lot of free time gazing lovingly at her and reading, unbothered by the Terrible Neighbors(tm).

I don't have any decided opinions on this one; I keep turning it over like a muddy rock, trying to see what kind of minerals it is. Merwin is so good at the arresting line. "Learning a Dead Language" is probably a metaphor, but maybe it is exactly about what it says it's about. What do you think?
