Thanks for responding! It's not a Google doc; it was created in Libre Office, then saved as docx? Maybe that's the difficulty? I can try again when I have access to MS Word...
“Most of the Time, power has to do with dominance. But poetry is never about dominance. Poetry is powerful but it cannot even aspire to dominate anyone. It means making a connection. That’s what it means.”
-- June Jordan
One of those famous Louise Glück poems on grief and loss that are 💔💔💔
Lost love
Something did change when my sister died
My mother's heart became
very cold, very rigid
like a tiny pendant of iron.
What a perfect short poem.

Hello @doorisajarmag.bsky.social ! I am attempting to upload a submission for you to read & your website is not letting me...I have run a virus scan & tried repasting into a new file a couple of times per your instructions, but it keeps saying .docx is an "unknown file type." Any suggestions?

When people in the future ask what America was show them this
I can’t / honestly claim I’d do things differently
"and
an inkling fidgets inside me, so I
smile, lean into unspoken knowing’s incline
that people miss, overlook"

Morning Love Poem 🤍
—It's hard to say I need you enough.
Today I did. Walked into your morning shower fully clothed. All the moments
we stop ourselves just because we might feel embarrassed or impractical, or get wet —
