“My every star on real monsters shines.” A poem by Jay Hopler.
meditation on folklore: a coda

fuck bigfoot my every star
      on real monsters shines
           i haunt my own
           damned house in a body sewn
together by doctors
      witch & otherwise
      snakes behind my dim eyes
                  writhe & rattle-clack
                  their death-clock
                  maracas at every knee creak
                  & neck crack
i'm supposed to get the shivers
over some backwoods booger-
                       man don't make me laugh

‘Protect the Dolls’ is a term meaning ‘take care of trans ppl’. Its origin is due to the campaign of persecution & violence aimed at this vulnerable part of the Gay community. LGBTQ ppl nationally, & internationally, have been flagging that UK state TV is actively transphobic, for years. More proof!

At this point, there is no ambiguity about what just happened: Trump has stabbed the Ukrainian nation in the back in exchange for a shipment of diesel that would be a roughly 17 hour supply for the US market. It shows how easily Trump is manipulated by Putin, Xi and other dangerous dictators.

Russia may intensify its attacks on Ukrainian civilians as Trump eases sanctions. This could be part of a broader US-Russian effort to pressure Ukraine into surrendering territory during future negotiations. A strategy used by Israel and Assad, max pressure through massacres.

“Beware those footsteps that stop in a hush.” A poem by Anne Carson.
Reticent Sonnet

A pronoun is a kind of withdrawal from naming.
Because naming is heavy, naming may be slightly shaming.
We live much more lightly than this,
we address ourselves allusively in our minds—
as “I" or "we" or “one"—part of a system
that argues with shadow, like Venetian blinds.
Speaking of Venice, called "the Shakespeare of cities" by a friend of mine,
reminds me how often the Sonnets misprint “their” for “thine”:

beware the fog in Venice.
Beware those footsteps that stop in a hush.
I used to think I would grow up to be a person whose reasoning was deep,
instead I became a kind of brush.
I brush words against words. So do we follow ourselves out of youth,
brushing, brushing, brushing wild grapes onto truth.
