Chirps and coos forage and flit

#TodaysPoem is scant solace, but I’ll take the crumbs
New Year's Eve, and 125 years old today is 'The Darkling Thrush' by Thomas Hardy.
(And when I myself read this poem, I often find myself becoming aware of that blessèd Hope from that frail and gaunt thrush ✨️)

Another #TodaysPoem, although this one makes us all very sad ...
I have removed
the bike lanes
that were in
the road
and which
you were probably
using
to get to work
Forgive me
they were delicious
so crunchy
and so cold

"Once, you were translucent; you stood between / me and the source; you tempered the light, became / the light I chose to see by... You took the valuables when you left.. Disconnected you vanished." From "Unplugged" by Marie Ponset in Collected Works (2016)

Each that we lose takes part of us;
A crescent still abides,
Which like the moon, some turbid night,
Is summoned by the tides.
