beautiful. 🙏

regards to the ditch i am the verge-- the narrow strip between motion and wreckage. grass shoulder, small mercy between asphalt and ruin. the past pools in the low places. flooding the fast-- the flash-- fear-- i keep the wheel steady-- between the lines still.

i am the verge

bitter i conserve energy in systems where expression has a cost. not weakness adaptation over time hardens. what kept me safe becomes me.

🙏 Thank you for saying that. I've been struggling to get back here recently, and your words definitely help!

When I clicked through, it took me to "Poetics Tuesday: Beginnings are Endings" -- I just realized you meant Thursday doors. So, I'll have to look for that, also!

👏👏👏

Oh. I love this! I am going to try it!

So great. I needed to read this today. Thank you!

Thank you, Merril. Yes, that's how I was hoping it could be read.

Thanks for saying that, John. You are always too kind. I was thinking of reading this in multiple ways -- it could be performative or a comment on efficiency (things working as they should). 🙏

😲 I'm so sorry! This piece is very powerful. 🙏 Thank you for sharing your writing with all of us.

Thank you so much. ❤️

thank you. 🙏

no uncomfortable fantasy-- the awareness of you is not invention. affinity is recognition in the presence of memory. my weakness: longing recognized as meaning. worse-- endurance called purpose. this quest: direction without proof.

You always bring just want I am looking for, and I thank you for it. The line "but you agree and carry it" hits so absolutely hard. You are such a talent!

This is so beautiful, per usual! I keep coming back to it!

I want to know when someone is going to collect all of the Tesco poems together! There's a thread here, and we need this.

you know i always love what you write!

🙏 Thank you.

You are so kind, Dean. I've been having a wobble lately and hearing this helps.
