Thank you for saying these kind words. It really does make me feel better! I had gotten into a real bad head space with it for some reason! 💖🙏

Someone was going around leaving comments that I was AI (probably bc I make jokes about my username when people ask me that), and it just really tapped into my imposter syndrome. It was harmless, but it made me not want to write here anymore!!

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. ❤️

@zentinl.bsky.social thank you so much for reposting. 💖

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.
