big little book and also so funny
TOAF by Renee GladmanQuote from TOAF by Gladman, “2. Language as delicacy, as abstracted beauty, as brushed or drawn onto the page, that reveals, strives, up-ends itself.
3. Awareness of meta-presences: silence, absence, light or dark of day, grays of meaning, peripheral reality, sound or gestures of living.
4. Arrival and then displacement. Impermanent realization; tender leaving of clarity.

I must admit a lack of conclusiveness that I wrote the above statements. It is one of those things. There are no signs of having quoted another source, but there is something other about this list. If it is yours I apologize. How did I get it? In any case, what a recipe for success! If you follow these steps, don't you end up writing the novel of the century? How can you not?

I can’t reckon so i shake my head to a woolie of ears and shut eye continuum. But i come to what i must want to be: a well. By I I mean we, by we mean what’s at the bottom of what i want to be—but that’s not just so. Well, i could feel myself a mountaintop to get to, to there on. Would i then rung down myself to that stood water, to what’s drowned down in it—by which i mean us us us

… never to mean: space, the terror of the unimaginably empty and endless, distance stars, for example, not to mention the core-fires of the galaxy, so we cellular brushfires can burn cool in a way-off arm: there is truly only meaning, only meaning, meanings, so many meanings… Ammons

NOTE TO AB


I became a poet
Because every thing
Beautiful seemed
“poetic” to me.
I thought there were things
I didn’t understand
that wd make the world
poetry. I felt I knew
who I was but had to
Struggle, to catch up
w/ my self.
Now I do see me
sometimes, a few worlds
ahead, & I speed up, then,
put my head down,
Stretch my stride out
& dig
There me go, I scat &
sing, there me go.

having people take care of me is actually really nice and less uncomfortable than I thought it’d be. it’s kind of like a low-stakes hang where maybe we do some chores, go on a walk, and watch tv. more of this, less of spend a lot of money at restaurant + go to event where we can’t talk

another read recently
Cover of Black Lavender Milk by angel dominguez poem: “How to approach the earth: / With a soft gravity to deepen where we lay. / Opening allows water to seep in. / Water remembers time. / We do not.”poem with highlighted portion: “Speak aloud the following, as I learned from Bhanu Kapil; she speaks this from a mountainside, somewhere in India (as you read this): Je n’existé pas. Je ne jamais existé pas.”Luminous detail from the archive, notebook page “here i am writing (as top soil)”
