“a pearl disguised as grief.”

Honored to have this poem appear in @stonecirclereview.bsky.social. Many thanks to @leepottspoet.bsky.social 🙏

Suzanne Cleary’s “Anyways” Because the word must be large enough / to hold all of our reasons

How big is 1 trillion? 1 million seconds = 11.574 days 1 billion seconds = 31.7 years 1 trillion seconds = 31,688 years

Remember that time advertisers threatened to leave Twitter?

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

#NoKings #SanFrancisco

#NoKings just getting started in #SanFrancisco. We got beats in the streets

About to kick things off with my dear auntie Fa and others here in #SanFrancisco #NoKings

This made me want to write my own version. From the author’s note: “Maybe it’s like this: if life is a series of leavings, love is the longing to return.”

Anyone going to the #SanFrancisco #NoKings rally know where we can pick up our Soros checks or our hate America back wages? Is it City Lights? Or did the move HQ to the Haight? #SF50501

The Rebellion Lives

Oof… this short read packs a punch.

Good thread worth checking out.

“The world might set on fire but here it has not yet. The grills are lit–come & eat with us. Come to our table without handcuffs.”

Definitely felt that one.

Every edition of @thesunmagazine.bsky.social has something that breaks & mends me. It is a thrill to share something of mine there. Now go get a subscription!

Remembering and celebrating the poet Andrea Gibson today. Rest in peace. “I know most people try hard / to do good and find out too late / they should have tried softer.” youtu.be/f77CqY-MMtg?...

Yip yip yip yip. #NoKings #SanFrancisco

What more proof do we need that the liberals control the weather 😉

The heart paints as fast as it can—remember, remember, hold this fast—but there’s no catching up, no getting it back, no going home. One breath after the next, we are home. Inside our transformations. Inside our stories.

While not a child in England, I’m feeling a little called out by this.

From Tony Hoagland's book, Unincorporated Persons in the Late Honda Dynasty. #poetry #books #writing

I decided to celebrate Bay Area poets with a few purchases at Booksmith on independent bookstore day

Could “potentially undermine”? Kinda like a private citizen meeting with Orban or chatting with Putin undermine?

#HandsOff in San Francisco

Maybe this one can be launched in to space too (with passengers)?

Thanks for sharing this 🙏

Now it makes sense
