“In the quiet of night
how loud the knock when
ice cubes drop like gun shots.
One of us melts, reshapes.

Either I was with you again
or I am water, stretching”

I tried to watch the animated movie Flow with my dog last night. She fell asleep but it was exactly what I needed.

I’m really hoping Bluesky will overflow with poems, poets sharing their success stories, and journals and presses announcing their open submission windows.
