I just love religious buildings taken on my terms. Solo. Holy. All types. Breathe. Smile. After & before the people and their anger & attachment. Something pure always.

Mieko Kawakami’s ALL THE LOVERS IN THE NIGHT was a gorgeous read for the start of fall. It was quiet, contemplative, sad, atmospheric, and character-driven. These are the books I love. I’m wondering which Kawakami I should read next. #booksky

I remember my Thanksgiving poem being pinned to the school bulletin board, where everyone could see it, and leaves cut out of orange construction paper were stapled all around it. It is the one poem I am still trying to write. -- Mary Ruefle, Madness, Rack, and Honey

stars don’t stop being beautiful even when they’re falling apart

This image of the Ring Nebula appears as a distorted doughnut. The nebula’s inner cavity hosts shades of blue and green, while the detailed ring transitions through shades of orange in the inner regions and pink in the outer region. The ring’s inner region has distinct filament elements.

A vivid Hubble image of the Cat’s Eye Nebula, showing a bright blue-green central region surrounded by intricate concentric shells, loops, and wisps of glowing gas in turquoise, pink, and orange. The layered structure gives the nebula a complex, almost eye-like appearance.

Webb’s view of the Southern Ring Nebula appears as a misshapen oval that is slightly angled from the top left to the bottom right. The image shows one star at the center. A large translucent pink-and-red irregular oval surrounds the central stars.

A Hubble image of the Butterfly Nebula, with two enormous wing-shaped lobes of glowing gas extending outward from a bright central star. The lobes are filled with fiery orange, red, pink, and blue clouds, while a dark band of dust cuts through the center.

it doesn't have to be good. it just has to be yours. "good" is for marketing suits and focus groups. if you make it you enough, you'll dip into that vibrant spark of life that animates all of us. you'll pull up a bit of that light. and then it will be great. the only way to make great is to be you.

the more unfinished projects you have the better. the bigger your graveyard the more strange zombies you can sew together from the body parts. do not feel self-conscious about it. just keep making.

OMFG if I see one more person suggest that people talking about Covid in 2026 want permanent lockdowns I’m going to lose it The asks are clean air in public places, treatments for long covid, masks in places like healthcare + normalization of masking elsewhere, expanded vaccine access, sick leave

"Love Poem Written on the Eve of the Apocalypse" in DMQ Review 🖤

Love Poem Written on the Eve of the Apocalypse, by Sarah Mills

Everyone talks about the apocalypse like it's all zombies and asteroids, but nobody mentions the quiet parts. Here I am, kissing your microplastic lips, pulling ash from your soft hair. I tried to be a minimalist because I knew how suffocating the landfills would feel at the end of the world. I became obsessed with letting go, throwing away things I needed, practical things like a hammer. The sky is cleaved open, its insides shining like the pipes from an organ I saw on a curb outside a church. I wondered if it could still make music. Your irises are glowing from staring at the radioactive Milky Way, its purple stars wetting your cheeks. Did we have enough time to do all the things we loved? I took so many long drives with my car packed and the windows down, trying to escape Sadness, the name of my shadow. The feeling of aloneness pressing against my face—or was that just the wind? What struck me was that I still had so much room for hope. I paid for it like an extra carry-on, lugged it through the squeaky halls of my life on broken wheels, its contents spilling out. I held each item like a favorite sweater or beloved book, running my hand over it the way I am grazing your cheek now, burning red like embers. I love this one, I said so many times, stuffing it back in, deciding to keep it.

I have a new prose poem "I Blame the Planets" in the beautiful new DMQ Review. The issue also features an in memoriam featured of @jpdancingbear.bsky.social's work, along with poems from @renee-emerson.bsky.social, @sarahmillswrites.bsky.social & other great writers. www.dmqreview.com/vorreyerf26

I Blame the Planets,

though I don’t understand them, even poor relegated Pluto, who has vanished from the old mnemonic memory song so that now My Very Educated Mother Just Serves Us Noodles instead of Nine Pizzas. No matter. Astrologers say that those bulbous spheres are at fault for all my troubles. Who am I to argue when my car’s battery dies beneath a flock of shitting pigeons on a cold day and the windows fog from the steam of my breath while I wait for a tow truck? I curse those damn globules of gas and rock until I remember how lovely Earth looks from space, its oceans and cloud garments, its swirling. I can’t stay mad for long, at least at Earth. Or Mercury. I wish it would clap back, rain asteroids on our heads every time someone says retrograde to explain their misfortunes. It’s not Mercury’s fault, hung on the sky like an ornament, gazing out at its backyard of stars. I understand what it’s like—to take the blame, to have no voice.
