And if we blot out the sky-
There's a light you can buy!
For the low, low price
And a high, high cost
You too can go wild.

I have a new Substack post. Just me, my grief, and love of Dolly Parton. We lost her one month ago today.
When thinking of Dolly’s kindness today, I am also thinking of this poem by @stevenreigns.bsky.social in LET ME SAY THIS: A DOLLY PARTON POETRY ANTHOLOGY. So grateful for this poem, Steven!

I reckon
the gods made us
for amusement
then we invented poetry
and ruined

For an infinite period, I rest outside of time. There are colors, forms, sounds, smells, but they sweep through me undifferentiated and unrecorded. Every moment is new. Nothing makes sense, but this does not bother me, because I have no expectation that it should.

A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes (ROUND 12)
Let’s workshop this poem about how private desire leaves public traces, how bodies become archives, and how even the smallest witnesses—a bird in a window sill—can be pulled to the core of who we are.

I Write to Stay Alive
Not dramatically.
Practically.
Writing regulates me
when nothing else does.
You taught me that.
I honor it every time
I pick up the pen.
