poem from my little chap with @the-ethelzine.bsky.social

Dialogue

Judith and her Maidservant (1613-14)

Where shall we put the head?

It drips through the basket.
Put your hair in braids tonight, my love.
Set pearls in your ears.

We have tasks. Tasks that require
a weapon. Tie your laces. Bring

a basket. Bring your mother's
basket, the one that could hold

a pig's head. Bring a white cloth.

Final cover image for *Little Survivors Everywhere*! We should be gearing up in the next week... watch this space! Coming soon from www.pearlpirie.com/phafours

Book cover image features a battered cardboard box in which are some autumn leaves, a knife, and an ant plushie. A green striped caterpillar crawls up the side of the box. The title is in some funky font I don't know the name of, in a kind of mustard color matching some of the leaves.

What if we take an artform that has a unique power to connect people across space and time and strip it of its power to connect?? 🤔

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

POEM 374: "In midlife," by Kristen Holt-Browning "feeling reckless and suburban, we are tired of the pond / at the far end of the yard, the same old ecosystem as last year, stones / slick with repetitive moss, another snakeskin shed at the little shore" stonecirclereview.com/in-midlife/ #Poem

What art does for us is not dependent on the art or the creator. It is what it leaves behind—its residue, its atomic shadow, its eternal tremor. How many rooms did it unlock within us? -- Lisa Marie Basile, “The poetic permissions of dream logic & otherworlds”
