"It was Sunday when the twins drove into town and saw it, the damnable statue, which was so wide as to plug the underpass, and which they likened to their mother, who on the necessity of marriage had become quite immovable." Today on ergot.: 'Photopsia' @ckliu.com www.ergot.press/authors/C.K....

Sometimes, I listen to the birds... the dead in dreams are never dead, and yes, it is their aliveness that is reassuring, their going on even as they leave us here. Just now the shadow of wings, and a far-off child’s voice shouting Hey, Mom. -Maxine Scates, from "Flyway" shorturl.at/WchwK

what I really need to say is that it rained all night and morning, and the drops were a percussion on the trees, and after the sun rose, I saw an insect land on the railing and take shelter, and a bird drank from a leaf. --Pádraig Ó Tuama, from “Our Lady of the Garden” shorturl.at/OVyeh #poetry
