From Rónán Hession’s Panenka
#booksky 💙📚 #novel
From Rónán Hession’s Panenka: She had recently taken a promotion at the supermarket where she had worked for several years, going from cashier to a management role that she had been encouraged to apply for. It was a little bit more money but she lost shift allowances, overtime, and the friendship of the women she had worked with on the registers. And so far she was struggling to assert herself with the men in the stockroom. There was something subtly undermining in their frigid co-operation and she could sense their hostility like a draught on her shoulders whenever she swept through to look in on them. But she contained her anxiety and instead projected managerial competence through her perfectionism. She had been taught that 'retail is detail' and was meticulous in her standards, despite knowing that this was a sure way to get called a bitch behind her back. As she sometimes reminded herself, this was all part of getting ahead and taking her life back, even if the small patch of alopecia behind her left ear had begun to worry her. It was easy to hide it now, but if it became

From Seamus Heaney’s “Act of Union”
#booksky 💙📚 #poetry
From Seamus Heaney’s “Act of Union” II And I am still imperially Male, leaving you with the pain, The rending process in the colony, The battering ram, the boom burst from within. The act sprouted an obstinate fifth column Whose stance is growing unilateral. His heart beneath your heart is a wardrum Mustering force. His parasitical And ignorant little fists already Beat at your borders and I know they're cocked At me across the water. No treaty I foresee will salve completely your tracked And stretchmarked body, the big pain That leaves you raw, like opened ground, again.

Anna Akhmatova
#booksky 💙📚 #poetry
Anna Akhmatova’s "Your Lynx-Eyes, Asia...” Your lynx-eyes, Asia, spy on my discontent; they lure into the light my buried self, something the silence spawned, no more to be endured than the noon sun in Termez. Pre-memory floods the mind like molten lava on the sands ... as if I were drinking my own tears from the cupped palms of a stranger's hands. - 1945

Coleridge geeking. From “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner”
#booksky 💙📚 #poetry
The very deep did rot: O Christ! That ever this should be! Yea, slimy things did crawl with legs Upon the slimy sea. About, about, in reel and rout The death-fires danced at night; The water, like a witch's oils, Burnt green, and blue and white.
