Ache has rhythm
That’s different from pain
Keeps time with the heart
As it stabs at the brain
Symphonical hurt
As it throbs, as it beats
The world’s saddest song,
An eponymous release

Patriotic news. For patriotic people. Who don't want to pay taxes.

I have scars whose seams are gold
And as I age their lustre grows
The wounds that birthed them
Inversely knitted and shorn
Hold the decorative provenance
Of story’s no longer told

The impostor lighthouse by my bed
Complicit with the carpet sea
Would wreck my sleep
Should I dare to reach
In response to its lambent beacon

actual soup nazis
some good news buried among the horrible behavior listed:

“The third woman said federal agents at her hotel are subsisting on microwavable bowls of Campbell’s chicken noodle soup, because it’s become so difficult for them to find restaurants willing to serve them.”
I visited hotels all over Minneapolis, went into back rooms & talked to the staff.

They're afraid.

One told me she resents how her undocumented coworkers spend their days cleaning the rooms of agents who are “hunting down their family members.”

Eyes blink
Lips quiver
Chest heaves
Skin shivers
Body shakes
Behaviour mirrors
Love blinds
Lovers whisper

Moons and civilisations wane
And all the old men have started smoking again

Heads tilted back on chicken skin necks
Blowing liberty rings on nicotine’s breath

They finger God through the holy smoke
Schoolboys once more and in on the joke

Vote for me, l'll take you to the Cusp
The other guy?
He says we are at the Cusp
But he's a liar

You remember the old Cusp?
Everything was better, Right?
A vote for us
We all go back there

And I can solemnly promise
That
Just like the other guy
We will take you no further

The media should cover sport the way they cover the state murder of civilians:

‘Jannik Sinner appeared to win the French Open yesterday after what supporters say was a comeback from being two sets down.’

Do you hear me whisper your name?
Do my words twist your sheets?
Do pillows slip from their slips?
Does the quilt fight your feet ?

Do you whisper my name?
I hear a hushed cry for help?
‘Please come to me now
This bed won’t make itself’

The Negative Teens sounds like a cool band name but it’s also our air temperature in the Twin Cities (without wind factored in) for the next 48 hours or so.

Soon we will go back there
Back to the wild sensible
On the edge of our young world.
Winding lanes
Thorns of fruit
Evening drizzle mists the hedgerow.
Remember?
When the curtsying sun submitted her tiara of cobwebs.
You said,
‘Such a grand entrance to an empty house’.

Let’s unmoor this covered bridge
And ride the rapids.
Down stream, Down Stream,
The exhilaration of the fall
The joy of landing
The mouth of the river
The body of the ocean
Our Ark.
Loosen that bolt, Saw that brace.
It’s enough to begin.

Or we could play pooh sticks?
