"Silence sweeps the sky" is a physical verb attached to a non-thing. Beautiful move because the reader supplies the broom.

The weather in Ireland is controlled, unknowingly, by a toddler in Peru. After days of sunshine and birthday parties, she is upset. She does NOT want to go to the dentist. Furrowed brow, arms crossed in total

In the midst of heatwave this came to mind That irrational feeling of being so deeply in love the entire world seems transformed by it There are some really unusual images sitting alongside the more obvious But more that I love the breathlessness of the unpunctuated stanzas

What is this pull then resistance then pull then more resistance, then surrender, to write essays that reject categorizable genre? The question dangles. Unanswered. The writing continues.

Her thoughts continued to
#putter
around nothing specific, that morning. A minute ago she was cleaning her wardrobe. Next, she was tending to her gardens. Then she was cleaning her attic. That's when she found her grandma's box. Curiosity won her over. She began checking what was in it.

She watched him
#putter
around the kitchen, cleaning things that weren’t dirty. His cold feet had frozen him hours ago when she’d mentioned the wedding. His third go at the cutlery, she had to say something. “We need to talk.” He didn’t look up. They’d both been so sure. Not anymore.
