The Disposition of the Linen
It demands form—
movement of light and shadow
as day paces from east to west.
I cannot take shape.
Beauty makes me cry.
Cleverness makes me bleed.
I am without form, and void,
watery deep above, below.
I am not a poem clothed with the sun.

Holy crap I came home to a box of copies of my new chapbook of ekphrastic poems (it’s not the official release date yet so sneak peek) AND a magazine acceptance of a PANTOUM. A pantoum! Me! What!
Thank you @robmclennan.bsky.social for being a reason to crawl out of the bed in the morning.

17. AN ATTEMPTED BIOGRAPHY OF THE WORKS OF BARBARA LIVESEY by Stephen George Wallis. A perfect introductory text to @deadinkbooks.bsky.social's Eden Book Society project. Let the lacunae wash over you and open your mind to the mystery! Long live ekphrastic literature! Also: British giants?

The clouds bespoke how thin the veil …
‘Ware each sound that gives you fright
If the walls could speak, oh, what a tale!
Yet darkness recedes before the light.
