Just hopping on here to say it’s raining in Seattle right now and I couldn’t be happier. 🌧️🌈

a poem
of two stars
written on his arm

Kelli Russell Agodon At Times My Body Leans Toward Loss You don't remember seeing the deer give birth on the highway, so when I said, I worry about things I can't control, you told me the pitchfork I carry in mind stabs inwards, like the day was sun-filled, but what I saw was how I bumped the planter of Gerber daisies and the moth fluttered up into the beak of a bird. Death and dinner. A minor accident and something dies. Like the woman who drove to work crying in her car and when I saw her, she waved, a reflection in the glass, the good fortune of having a job to drive to, but the collision of sadness in the left ventricle of a heart. Who can hold a knife without thinking for just a second, which vein is the most useful to slice into? Most everyone, you say, as you dull-down the ends of my pitchfork, most everyone, you say as you unlock the door to our house.

I was reading this gorgeous poem 'At Times My Body Leans Toward Loss' by @kelliagodon.bsky.social in @poetrysociety.org - winner of the Lyric Poetry Award, 2019.

Just stunning ❤️
