Kaveh Akbar, from Calling A Wolf A Wolf: Poems; “Personal Inventory: Fearless (Temporis Fila)”
“The heart is so tired of beating herself up, she wants to stop it still, but also she wants the blood to return, wants to bring in the thrill and wind of the ride, the fast pull of life driving underneath her.”
— Ada Limón, from Downhearted
“Dear god, when will you find a time for me? I take the pill. Feed the cats, and bed down the dogs. I hold my breath. My body hollows, grows teeth: gathers bone, gathers root and nerve.”
— The Renunciations, “Dear —” by Donika Kelly
Two tigers,
Chillin’ in the hot tub!
Yes YES! Five feet apart
Cuz they’re not caged.

Anaïs Nin, Incest: From "A Journal of Love": The Unexpurgated Diary of Anaïs Nin, 1932-1934
“Hope” is the thing with feathers - That perches in the soul - And sings the tune without the words - And never stops - at all - And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard - And sore must be the storm - That could abash the little Bird That kept so many warm - I’ve heard it in the chillest land - And on the strangest Sea - Yet - never - in Extremity, It asked a crumb - of me.
-Emily Dickinson
Happy Pride :)
Happy spring, to my northern hemisphere friends. What fascinating beasts did you see this week?

What a wonderful, evocative, REAL sculpture. It really brings home how these were living thing, flesh and blood, not immortal. Fellow earthlings.
