Ablutions He kneels on the bathroom floor to clip his fingernails straight into the toilet. Imagine his bent head, the concentration, the bright metallic snip like a speckled thrush tapping a snail against a stone. Martha Sprackland Image courtesy @nessalampert.bsky.social

Of all the lovely things about writing, the best is when someone you don’t know says they love a poem you’ve written. It’s food for the heart ♥️

a mutant lemon with a rind that is warped and huge that has been cut in half to reveal a spiderweb of fruit and pith and additional rinds

Summer is coming no matter what. — Strawberry Moon Matthew Dickman

Strawberry Moon
Matthew Dickman

It felt like the whole world
exhaled really fast like
being punched in the stomach.
Every song was about you.
I'm not kidding. Just
like in really bad songs and now
I can't listen to anything
because I'm like a fuzzy bumblebee
bouncing off all these stamens,
flicking them with my wet
chin and pretending
it's your stomach, honey, honey,
it feels like I'm never going to be OK and summer
is coming no matter what.

Summer looks at me,
shakes its head
and says fuck you,
you should have prepared
for this, you should have been
a father but now you're like
a can of dog food and only
the dogs are excited
but you and I know that's only
because they don't know better,
that's only because they're pets
and have been
beaten with the daily paper they are
trained to bring inside
and lay at the big hairless feet
of their masters. Lay. Lie.
I only ever wanted you to tell me
to sit. And now more than ever
I'm going to die, and that's on me
I know, I know that's my deal,
that's my fault, that's what
they say, and they should.

I keep praying it's only summer
talking, that it's only the dogs
barking, I keep looking at houses
we could live in like someone
shot in the head and asking
the people screaming
around him if he has something
on his face, he just can't figure
it out, dumb beast, gone but not
really even knowing he's gone.
