Not going to lie, @saintghost.bsky.social's line from #silentplanets, “I loved you like a goddamned dog,” was still in my head this week and influenced my line about the dog! 🙏

‘science says / all planets speak’ pared down and declarative. The turn to imagination feels like a nod to mystery, quietly echoing Lewis.

‘the threshold pulled in ashes’ threshold as ruin is such a charged image. This opens with the gravity of endings.

‘as dormant glacier nerve’ — that image fuses geology and body, coldness alive under the skin of time. This vision chills beautifully.

‘indifferent hymn, / night after bright’ — the inversion unsettles beautifully. You catch the cold music of repetition.

‘we are the star-crossed lover / on a blind Dutch date’ I love how intimacy and absurdity meet here. The ending turns dread into something human.

Not a work-in-progress for this week's #WednesdayWIPs, but here's the genesis of the #PoemsAbout #SilentPlanets poem that became 'Cosmosis'.
Just look upon it as a clutch of wordy wallpaper, out of which something useful appeared.
Bring back the auto-writing muse; this is hard work. 🙂

Urizen measures the world awake; the planet dreams it back to life.

Composing this I realized how deep the shame goes within myself & others. It was a relief to 'name it' & to name some of the women who are either no longer with us or not 'found'. I appreciate your careful attention & heartfelt response. Thank you ♥️ #poemsabout #silentplanets @alanparrywriter.co.uk

Yes, Alan. It is an eclipse. I'm so grateful #poemsabout #silentplanets provided me with a platform to address this lack of awareness in others as well as in myself. @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk #StsyCreative

This read like a a kind of deep-time hymn. The cadence of “heart beats – heartbeats” against “atomic time rendered in dust” is especially striking.

This seethes — silence here isn’t absence, but burden. That closing admission, “full of all the words of anger that, to my shame, I have never found”, really cuts.

This lands with sharp wit. Brevity here makes the punchline hit all the harder.

The closing image — ‘silent as planets’ — lands beautifully, folding it all back in on itself. This makes absence palpable.

‘reception with processing’ — that phrase grounds the abstract, giving silence a shape.

‘I said your name in the quiet and listened / not to be answered’ — such restraint. Memory folded into landscape, steady as the orbits above.

‘In the silent whisper / Of your heavenly body’s slow / Orbit’ — the phrasing is tender, and reverent.

‘Secrets in silence hush prying eyes & ears’ — that line is brimming with secrecy, like coded transmissions. This circles mystery and menace, holding wonder just out of reach.

‘Your rings a coffee swirl of gold’ — such a warm, tactile opening. You bind the planetary to everyday richness, and the naming of ‘Autumn’ seals it.

‘Small girl, crouched and voiceless’ the restraint in those words makes the silence thunder.
