LúmëcolcaTelling everyone that this is my favorite Tang dynasty poem.
Trevor Burrows"I am almost convinced (quite contrary to opinion I started with) that species are not (it is like confessing a murder) immutable.... I think I have found out (here's presumption!) the simple way by which species become exquisitely adapted to various ends."
Darwin, quoted in Roberts, p. 305

Lilyfinally they captured her alive in a net.
a footnote in the government programme of localized deities
and punishment for being unknown to them.
she stayed imprisoned
and ceased to interact meaningfully with the heavens.
these ordinary monsters
their food was ambrosia but they bled when injured.
even apparent gods might be humans incognito
(I cut and assembled this a month ago but my cat knocked my cutting board on the floor and I had to psyche myself up to find and sort all the pieces)

J.R.BeeI thought I’d come across a poem on blue sky, but it was a list of songs - so I made my own #poem
Kylol, but more than 500 acres of forest and moonlight were now mine.
…
Ghosts sitting under oak trees. Ghosts with their feet in a creek. Ghosts sleeping next to each other against the walls of old barns.
from Lost Animals by Geoff Manaugh
Of Bookish ThingsI said no more.
There was a small corridor
that ended -
with a large iron door.
