NEW POEM #274: "Bested by Charismatic Megafauna" by Christa Fairbrother (@christafairbrother.bsky.social)

"I told him I've been
to Australia, pet
the koalas, and
they're really not
soft, but scratchy. They
smelled like greasy, grey
linens."

All transition is a dying into life. We break through like rays in order to shine. The arrow flies, the bow shatters.

My TBR pile is calling loudly but it's taking forever to finish my current book because I have to stop reading after a couple pages to think about it for a while.

Art, as I said earlier, affects a person's emotions, not his reason. Its
function is, as it were, to turn and loosen the human soul, making it
receptive to good.
