On this last day of #aprilpoetrymonth, a poem by Seamus Heaney about a wife's reproaches to her dead husband & her condemnation of the hare-brained vocation that robbed her—and their children—of so many hours of his life. #Dante #Inferno @joriegraham.bsky.social @aestallings.bsky.social
At the moment, I feel like too many people use piety and righteousness to advertise just hoe "good" they are.

Winded ripples clash or merge to moon-tugged waves
That rip and swell and crash to broken foam;
Does any part of water ask: "Why am I
So different, so alone, a part apart?
Does it think itself an island when drawn to cloud?

For #aprilpoetrymonth. One of Shakespeare's most famous prose-poem rants. Note that while Edmund eviscerates #astrology, he substitutes Elizabethan "biological" determinism in its stead. #selfdelusion #character #contradiction #Irony
“ Si, de tes lèvres avancées, Tu prépares pour l'apaiser,
À l'habitant de mes pensées
La nourriture d'un baiser,
Ne hâte pas cet acte tendre, Douceur d'être et de n'être pas, Car j'ai vécu de vous attendre, Et mon coeur n'était que vos pas.”

Sometimes what I WANT to say or write needs to be honed down into a poem!

For me, holding my tongue includes finding just the right words to address the righteously wrong.

I wrote this poem after someone I knew claimed "slavery wasn't always bad". Needless to say, she's not a part of my life any more.
