Spring Comes Back 
But Never the Same Way Twice

Once: pussy willows, which are not 
cats, are not willows but something 
soft refusing to be one thing. 
I touched them. They let me.

Once: crocuses pushed through snow,
purple and furious. Beautiful and done
apologizing. The lake ice broke 
into new geometries.

Once: mistook birdsong for a car alarm, 
mistook a car alarm for my own pulse.
I still don’t understand why
the rhythm of life is want or fear.

Once: the the redbuds took their time,
the swell of each bud kept secret for weeks, 
then one morning, the rain arrived
sideways, and there was pink everywhere.

Once: forsythia, sudden and obscene, 
yellow-throated and shrieking
from every hillside,
the color of hope.

Each iteration, proof 
nostalgia is just losing track of how
you are changed 
by what you thought you knew.

The cherry blossoms are different this year. 
The tree does not remember 
last year's flowers,
so it makes new mouths to speak with.

Publication day!

I have loved @identitytheory.bsky.social for so long.

Many thanks to @vicnogaywrites.bsky.social for putting together an incredible micro issue and for letting "Unraveling Helen" be part of it. This piece is incredibly special to me, and having it in the world means a lot.

I wonder what my former big brain centrist acquaintance thinks of the world being on fire.

I'm tired of being the frog in the pot talking about how it's getting warm and being told to calm down.

They want to tell a computer to give them something cool with minimal work.

"Computer, generate a new Sherlock Holmes mystery that blah blah blah."

The only problem is that they don't want to do the fully-automated luxury gay space communism part first.

Fixed it! Stole some sticky shipping labels from work and covered the notes.
