Poem for June Prayer I wanted to know something beautiful. I opened my eyes. That sprung the first leak. Every boarded-up window washed out of its hole, and light—light being also shadow, which is time, the duration of a refusal— drowned me. I drowned. open.substack.com/pub/allisonc...

Just finished reading @dghaskell.bsky.social new book "How Flowers Made Our World." It's the best kind of book, a work of beauty that transforms perception. I now understand flowers as life-shaping beings filled with evolutionary wisdom, which humans respond to out of our own evolutionary wisdom.

Poem for today Wish A thousand things times naught. I want that. An empty. The glint from a fork eclipsed in the wet of a mouth. The ash flake having once. I ask the trace of a sea gone extinct. Subtract. The path of a fin from that past. A breath next to last. Nothing. Less.

Here's an action you can quickly sign onto, and it matters. Los Alamos National Laboratory has started producing plutonium cores for nuclear weapons for the first time since the Cold War. Their proposal for expanding fails to meet basic legal requirements. actionnetwork.org/letters/publ...
