#vss365 #reprieve #poetry #BlueSky #LitSky #AmWriting

poem text by Kate LaDew: there is a small gap between the down below where the bad people go and the up above where the good people live and in that gap is the waiting some, in confusion, some, in elation, because limbo can be a punishment or a reprieve, and as the souls shuffle in line hoping to be prayed into heaven every now and then, when a shoulder is jostled a head turned, an apology offered eyes go wide, a hand presses over a heart oh! it's you! fancy meeting... and the words I thought you were better I thought you were worse go unspoken they are, every soul, all of them, every one, though they do not say it, supremely surprised they couldn't, after all, read god's mind

poem text by Kate LaDew: I read something so wonderfully sad, I think, I can't share it with you, tears only purify where happiness waits, and I don't know if you can handle this today so I send you a poem full of sunlight of already fallen rain and puddles splashed, of hands warmed by fires and coffee mugs all the gentle things we dream of when hope seems slim and the future so long, (and always, somehow, not long enough) I separate my wonderfully sad into kernels, pocket them for better days and tell you how I think of you all the time how nothing's true till I share it with you and watch as hope rises in your eyes, I forget myself, and begin to say, I read something so wonderfully sad today-- (shh shh, no, not that) run through all the hopeful facts I've learned, (-a group of butterflies is called a kaleidoscope -once, thousands of rubber duckies were lost at sea and almost every day another is found -the sound and motion of hershey kisses as they drop on the candy conveyer belt sounded like a kiss, and so-) did you know, I say, smiling is completely 100% innate? and babies laugh before they can speak? no, you answer, but, I suppose, it's true, now that you've told me yes, I say, exactly, and your lips curve, a break in the clouds so sudden and miraculous I'll live on it for days, weeks, always

Poem text by Kate LaDew the world revolves so slow when it's watched, when it's nurtured the clouds giving way to new ones like ice melting in a glass of water it's all the same when things go, they don't go far and I know, always, as long as I live, I'll remember you

Irish poet & author Eavan Boland: a foremost female voice in Irish #literature.

She redefined the role of women in national literature, moving them from passive, romanticized muses to active, complex human subjects. Recipient, Lannan Literary Award for #Poetry. Born #OTD in 1944. #LitSky

A black-and-white portrait of Eavan Aisling Boland (1944–2020), the revered Irish poet and author who fundamentally reshaped national literature by subverting traditional, idealized depictions of women to center their lived, complex realities. Boland is captured in a gentle three-quarter profile, tilting her head slightly upward and looking just past the camera. Her expression is warm, thoughtful, and serene, highlighted by a genuine, open smile. Her dark hair is styled in a voluminous, layered chin-length cut with soft curls that frame her forehead. She is dressed in a dark, structured blazer or coat layered over a buttoned blouse, accessorized with a classic, dark beaded strand necklace. The background features a softly blurred, natural outdoor setting where dappled sunlight filters through overhead foliage, creating a gentle bokeh effect. The composition utilizes high-contrast monochrome tones, capturing crisp detail on her facial features and clothing while maintaining a soft, luminous quality in the lighting. The overall mood is deeply dignified, approachable, and creative, reflecting her towering historical legacy as a foundational pioneer of modern Irish poetry.

Poem text by Kate LaDew: to keep the wolves out they'll pick off the weakest, the sickest, the poorest, they'll force them to the edge and bite with frothing mouths and then, they'll see you they are always hungry bellies, full to the brim empty to the bottom they'll see you they will see you and when you're gone they'll eat each other so, wrap your arms around the barely there the weak, the sick, the poor squeeze until you lose your breath hold so tight, there's no space between us a jumble of hearts sharing the same blood here we are, on the edge, do we make a ladder of our hands or wait for the wolves to find us? do we stack our souls, a bundle that can't be broken? do we hold tight and watch them devour each other? or do we let go eyelashes fluttering as the teeth sink in

Poetry text by Kate LaDew I delete the voicemail from a number I don’t recognize  without listening because nine seconds is too short to say anything that matters and I remember when I let you lead me, eyes closed,  arms stretched out like a zombie or a mummy, you remember, the one boris karloff played—  or was it bella lugosi— anyway,  in that movie we saw when they played them at midnight,  the only ones in the theater,  black and white so fuzzy anything might have been happening and when we got out, shocked by the intensity of the moon overhead, there were children in halloween masks, wolfman, dracula, frankenstein, like the last hundred years hadn’t occurred, where slasher movies and blood and guts and violent passion and anything paranormal took us over, and we walked across the empty street to the gas station  and bought full size snickers and m&m’s and reese’s and gave them to the children, who pulled up their masks eating hungrily without saying thank you and if it was your number on my phone, I would’ve listened, nine seconds more than enough to say: remember when? a thousand images flashing yes, every one
