Thou Poem by @AFMoritz.bsky.social in The Sentinel (2008 @HouseofAnansi.bsky.social) rpo.library.utoronto.ca/content/thou...

"Thou poem of lost attention and half try,
do you fear more the inner world or outer?

I do not love the self less than the others,
my name is legion and my mouth one cry."

"Moonlight

warbles on ocean back now, skids
off its runways and is landing

in our beds."

" four
kinds of forever
visit you today:
something, nothing,
everything & art,
greater than you are
& of your making—"

"language is not enough, I get it, and I never said
nature cares if I stick its loveliness in a poem"

"I will be
the pigeon flying past your window
the dandelion in the crack
in your floor"

"yet is it really so
strange to think you
have a right to sit
in the light of day
without violence?"

"the only other english words:
Time To Say Goodbye

Gatineau Funeraire by Gwen Aube (2026 NewPoetry) newpoetry.ca/2026/08/10/g...

carts of emotive dust-well springs

"And here in the bar, the piano man's found
Another nail for my heart"

"For everyone
The swimmer’s moment at the whirlpool comes,
But many at that moment will not say
‘This is the whirlpool, then.’"
