I STOP WRITING THE POEM to fold the clothes. No matter who lives or who dies, I'm still a woman. Ill always have plenty to do. I bring the arms of his shirt together. Nothing can stop our tenderness.

Doing the housework and thinking of this poem from Tess Gallagher.

I’m howling.

Thank you!

Thank you 💕

Nigel Thomson "On the Way Home from School" (1980)A surrealist painting titled "The Schoolgirl" by Jeffrey Smart. A young girl in a school uniform walking away from the viewer across a desolate, yellow field toward a dark-clothed man standing in the distance. The man is hunched, holding a long saw at waist-height, creating a sense of psychological tension and isolation against a stark, industrial horizon.

The more you look at the details more disturbing this painting becomes.

There’s so much Miller on the timeline, cleansing with Dolly Parton and a cat ✨

All of this. And I find I particularly recognise the 'vanquish insecurity'.
Ursula K. LeGuin pinpointed the 'unmeasured desire' for unassailable safety as one of the chief drivers of evil in the world.
And Christ, yes, I'm seeing it so much. In my personal life and in politics too.

A Cottony Fate Long ago, someone told me: avoid or. It troubles the mind as a held-out piece of meat disturbs a dog. Now I too am sixty. There was no other life.
