Brian Bilston for #NationalPoetryDay
Send me a slow news day, a quiet, subdued day, in which nothing much happens of note, save for the passing of time, the consumption of wine, and a re-run of Murder, She Wrote. Grant me a no news day, a spare-me-your-views day, in which nothing much happens at all, except a few hours together some regional weather, a day we can barely recall. Brian Bilston

Another timely poem
Collective Nouns for Humans in the Wild by Kathy Fish published in Jellyfish Review, 2017 A group of grandmothers is a tapestry. A group of toddlers, a jubilance (see also: a bewailing). A group of librarians is an enlightenment. A group of visual artists is a bioluminescence. A group of short story writers is a Flannery. A group of musicians is — a band. A resplendence of poets. A beacon of scientists. A raft of social workers. A group of first responders is a valiance. A group of peaceful protestors is a dream. A group of special education teachers is a transcendence. A group of neonatal ICU nurses is a divinity. A group of hospice workers, a grace. Humans in the wild, gathered and feeling good, previously an exhilaration, now: a target. A target of concert-goers. A target of movie-goers. A target of dancers. A group of schoolchildren is a target.

A photo I took at the National Mall in D.C. while feeling perfectly safe. When I was there, a bunch of people were checking out the albino squirrels and a person who was acting as an unofficial tour guide was talking about them. The National Guard were not there, as makes sense. They are not needed.

The sunset, July 27 2025
Sunset above a row of townhouses in Maryland USA. In the top left corner, the sky is gray puffy clouds. A bright orange line diagonally cuts across the photo and below it, the clouds are all the same fiery orange.
