"O chestnut tree, great rooted blossomer,
Are you the leaf, the blossom or the bole?
O body swayed to music, O brightening glance,
How can we know the dancer from the dance?"

“I am crushed pomegranate seeds
popping between tongue and teeth,
a temporary stain shared on lips.”

The Girl in the Walls by @medenkuyatt.bsky.social
I absolutely love this story. A neurodiverse girl, sent to stay with her grandmother over the summer, faces generational trauma literally haunting the home.

Right now I am seeing cherry blossoms float from the tree outside my window & thinking about the joy & wonder of a poetic image. Here I chat about how picture books are their own kind of poetry -- with 12 x 12 founder Julie Hedlund no less!

On the blog this week: (Deep breath) Poem in the New Issue of Prairie Schooner, Welcoming a Nephew to Town and a Tulip Festival, Hosting Kelli Russell Agodon at J. Bookwalter's this Thursday: webbish6.com/poem-in-the-... #tulips #family #poetrymonth #prairieschooner
What was the next extinction after the Cretaceous?
Ice age grasslands and forests,
mulched beneath
the ice sheets
may yet bear bitumen fruit.
And we ourselves,
when we die in a supernova,
will, to oil, return.
#poem #poetrymonth 6/6
*****fin*****
But I have become a traitor.
Earth's ichor is no monster,
but a regenerating wellspring of power,
the Sorceress and Grayskull,
magical,
never-ending
because the die-offs keep coming.
#poem #poetrymonth 5/6
Did you think something was more important?
Doctors or Lawyers or Mayors or Logdrivers?
Heavens, no! They don't keep you warm at night.
You need that steady stream of petrol and the fanboys–the human arms of the sludge monster.
#poem #poetrymonth 4/n
The Great Outdoors, stimulant drugs, trucks, & trophy wives.
Grievance, shame, boom, booze, & bust. Life on the pirate's plank.
They're words to a shanty,
my Downeaster Alexa,
singing the men of the roads: 350, 3500, $350,000,
they pave spurs into the muskeg.
#poem #poetrymonth 3/n
The act of mining is a sacrament–Forrest Whitaker's character in Andor.
He is a fanboy.
“Drill, Baby, Drill,” the fanboys used to say.
Offshore they plumb the Earth's soft territories.
#poem #poetrymonth 2/n
"The Animating Mystery of the Wild West" by yours truly #poem #poetrymonth
I call them fanboys.
Fellows with a clean-cut look,
fellows with a biker look,
tapped in to the flow from the mines.
Their blood is Mad Max hydrocapture.

The villagers surround the house,
beat pots and pans, beat shovels to drain spouts”
