"Call me pig in shit. Happy.

She loves to cook. She used to love mowing lawns for the same reason. Nothing organizes, cleans my clock, clears my clutter more. Serve that goodness up in an orange bowl with a spoon."

Told myself I would string these as long as I can still find solid-colour incandescent replacement bulbs (trolling bins at Canadian Tire). A welcome buffer from the dark. #sheslit #onthebalcony #merrymary

RIP Udo Kier. Makes every movie better just by his presence. A wonderful actor and also I love how he decorates.

RIP Udo Kier
A black-and-white photograph of the actor Udo Kier as a young man, handsome and stung-lipped, like a character from a Caravaggio painting who's then put on an Oxford shirt and a knitted tie.

There was another guy in the Pilates studio while I had my lesson today & I only made eye contact once, in an exercise called “Star,” & I mouthed the words, “My house.”

LARSON'S HOLSTEIN BULL Death waits inside us for a door to open. Death is patient as a dead cat. Death is a doorknob made of flesh. Death is that angelic farm girl gored by the bull on her way home from school, crossing the pasture for a shortcut. In the seventh grade she couldn't read or write. She wasn't a virgin. She was "simpleminded," we all said. It was May, a time of lilacs and shooting stars. She's lived in my memory for sixty years. Death steals everything except our stories.

Tomorrow in Halifax I am hosting a poetry reading to celebrate two years of my micropress, Opaat Press. This reading will feature more than fifteen poets and is free and open to all. I'd love to see you there! Saturday, November 22, 2-4 pm, Halifax Central Library, Paul O'Regan Hall.
This photo shows a small pile of peach and pink cardstock fliers against a black background. The top flier is fully visible. It has black text that reads "Opaat Press SECOND ANNIVERSARY POETRY BASH / Free and open to all / Saturday, November 22, 2-4 pm, Halifax Central Library, Paul O'Regan Hall." At the bottom are four black and white logos for the League of Canadian Poets, The Writers' Union of Canada, Canada Council for the Arts, and Halifax Public Libraries.
