It falls with great force
and the light
Blinds
me to the light.

What are you carrying? For the sake of what? through such hard wind and light. — And you look out to me, and you say, “Only the same as everyone; your breath, your words, move with mine, under and over this glass; we who were born and lived on the living earth.”

Same ❤️ And "love's austere and lonely offices" is so unexpected, personal yet universal. Amazing precision.

there is a light somewhere.
it may not be much light but
it beats the darkness.

November 2, 2025 Hello from the Future Kate Hall We ran out of atmosphere but it didn’t turn out to be a big problem. It was never just the one thing. It will always feel strange buying magnetic fields from the government. Very funny how there’s a provincial law against making them taste good. I think to myself, This used to be my bank.

Sci-fi, by Tracy K. Smith

[...] Weightless, unhinged,
Eons from even our own moon, we'll drift
In the haze of space, which will be, once
And for all, scrutable and safe.
