When we consume joy, it forfeits its immortality. When joy consumes us, we forfeit our death; for the joy we’ve joined will persist in making its rounds, like dawn, public transportation, the solstice, and the generations to come.

Winter Moon How thin and sharp is the moon tonight! How thin and sharp and ghostly white Is the slim curved crook of the moon tonight!

The Monster in the Lake I walked down to the basement and saw my father hunched over a table in his white T-shirt and boxers. My father the rabble-rouser with the bullhorn, my father the Puerto Rican who spoke for other Puer...

Age at the Beginning of Knowing Woken again, this time by wings scraping the air to pitch the warbler’s heft from its tree. And the people I met, vivid and headstrong, now like blown lights beyond the pine boughs. Now blood moves li...

Chocolate Your mother holds you down in the back seat, prevents you from flying out the window. Chocolate your mother lies about buying makes a puddle on the seat.

I stared Through closed eyelids Into darkness because Four AM is too early To open eyes. I made my coffee A little stronger At five o'clock, Consuming the darkness In a white coffee cup. The same tiredness Followed me From the bedroom, Where the dog Was now Curled up In my spot, Resting her head On my pillow, Stealing the sleep That refuses My touch. Dawn wakes slowly, Too, Grey and colorless, With an impotent sun, Hiding Behind recalcitrant clouds. April 15, 2025

If you don’t already receive @poetryfoundation.bsky.social you absolutely should.

Dust of Snow by Robert Frost The way a crow Shook down on me The dust of snow From a hemlock tree Has given my heart A change of mood And saved some part Of the day I rued.
