be not afraid. focus instead on the bright day coming, when all will be returned to a way long before. the atomic love is all. it causes the wind to blow, the flowers to lean towards the sun. it is the sound of the waves whispering to the shore.

As the future ripens in the past,
so the past rots in the future—
a terrible festival of dead leaves.

~Anna Akhmatova

Was not writing poetry a secret transaction, a voice answering a voice?

the good is uniting against these forces, and so is made stronger. the fight being not a fight at all but rather a dimension of love. looking back, you will see a profound innocence. all things change.

A gorgeous autumn
has come to Kyiv.
All scents of gold
are breathing on the trees.

How’s the weather
where you are?

i once "worked" for a descendant of Tennyson's at Temple Chambers. this involved making tea and writing my first novel. i cannot hear these words without thinking of him (now crossed the bar), that time, etc.
