What We’re Reading Now: Entering the Dragon’s Mouth in “Pleasantview”
“We are, after all, witnessing everyone and everything at its most heightened. Each story is imbued with a distinct pathos, be it betrayal, hatred, jubilation, confusion, acceptance, or mercy.”
“I Have Been Exposed to a Toxic Mineral Compound” & “Ode to Kubrick’s ‘Old Woman in Bath’”
oiceless
but for when you appear
mirrored, a bloated hag
haw-hawing like a woman
could, I suppose, if he imagined
so.
Items of Value
“I don’t know what the break-in meant to me at the time, but it was like a stray thread, a thread that, once I tugged upon it, unspooled my entire world and snagged open a portal through which I could escape.”
Animals of the Mind
If one of the things we get from engaging with other beings is some sort of reflectivity, reflexivity, this past year I have been alienated not only from other people, but from myself. Much of the life that I have been able to encounter, not through a screen at least, for the past year, has been non-human.
“Here’s a Love Poem to Blueberries” & “Windchimes”
It is just comfort and I am just
thinking. I am always thinking.
There is only so much life
