    I know agape means both dumbly
    open and love not the kind of love
    that climbed the stairs to you.

  • speaks to the shadow of leaves

    AG2026_1233604a

    Attend to these found and delicate marks; distinct sentiments may arise; small oscillations

    remains all supple hands and gesture

    skin of language
    fusing its finest seam

    in fluent light
    with a raised finger

    dance of lips
    each sentence complete

    he speaks to the shadow
    of leaves

    strung tissue paper
    snipped into delicate flags

    on which side of the conversation
    did anyone begin?

    wearing two skins
    the brilliant question mark of Mexico
    stands on its head
    like an answer

    The Man Whose Voice Has Been Taken From His Throat, Naomi Shihab Nye

  • nothing to break or barter but my life

    AG2026_SmallOscillations_DCG-Document082226_-page006b

    I have just realized that the stakes are myself
    I have no other
    ransom money, nothing to break or barter but my life
    my spirit measured out, in bits, spread over
    the roulette table, I recoup what I can
    nothing else to shove under the nose of the maitre de jeu
    nothing to thrust out the window, no white flag
    this flesh all I have to offer, to make the play with
    this immediate head, what it comes up with, my move
    as we slither over this go board, stepping always
    (we hope) between the lines

    Revolutionary Letter #1, Diane di Prima

    Dans la nuit du 23 au 24 août 2026, Kenscoff a une nouvelle fois été frappée par les gangs : au moins 47 morts, dont cinq enfants, plus de 50 personnes enlevées et 25 maisons incendiées. (Haiti Inter)

  • AG2026_1233605a or for a thrill

    AG2026_1233605a

    Look at where we are, Hot Chip (Major Lazer Remix).

    In for the Kill, La Roux.

    I’m going in for the kill
    I’m doing it for a thrill
    Oh, I’m hoping you’ll understand
    And not let go of my hand

  • AG2026_1233652a or Listen and tell

    AG2026_1233652a
    AG2026_1233652a

    The heart of a bear is a cloud-shuttered
    mountain. The heart of a mountain’s a kiln.
    The white heart of a moth has nineteen white
    chambers. The heart of a swan is a swan.

    The heart of a wasp is a prick of plush.
    The heart of a skunk is a mink. The heart
    of an owl is part blood and part chalice.
    The fey mouse heart rides a dawdy dust-cart.

    The heart of a kestrel hides a house wren
    at nest. The heart of lark is a czar.
    The heart of a scorpion is swidden

    and spark. The heart of a shark is a gear.
    Listen and tell, thrums the grave heart of humans.
    Listen well love, for it’s pitch dark down here.

    Arrhythmia, Hailey Leithauser
