My favorite part

of drinking tea is forgetting

I ever made it.

Not a rose or a satin heart.

.

I give you an onion.

It is a moon wrapped in brown paper.

It promises light

like the careful undressing of love.

.

Here.

It will blind you with tears

like a lover.

It will make your reflection

a wobbling photo of grief.

Valentine by Carol Ann Duffy

Foothold on the footnote of deserted parking lots.

Sleepwalk into a city that swallows whole.

Emptying pockets for mistaken rain dances.

Finger rolls; Hiding hand to hand commission.

A neck tattoo, floating in an ocean of pharma-copies and disorderly conduct.

Synthetic linings ordered by loafers in fur.

Poisoning results of what can't be stomached.

Selling it with whoever;

Highest bidding unavailable.

Racking up hourly wagers of wage completing;

Competing only for bulk orders.

White angels in snowbanks stained by smog.

Chattering convulsives; Hurting for teething fits.

Ignite to keys, for push to starts.

All created from contacts and bitter highs;

Bored by contactless bravado of brittle strive.

Belligerent benign that screws with minds.

Made way, waves and weight;

Through telegraphed troubles.

Thick or thin shuffle; In due time tidal.

Escape introspective tantrum with affirmations.

Growth that isn't quantifiable by objectified associations.

"Tell yourself as it gets cold and gray falls from the air that you will go on walking, hearing the same tune no matter where you find yourself -- inside the dome of dark or under the cracking white of the moon's gaze in a valley of snow. Tonight as it gets cold tell yourself what you know which is nothing but the tune your bones play as you keep going. And you will be able for once to lie down under the small fire of winter stars. And if it happens that you cannot go on or turn back and you find yourself where you will be at the end, tell yourself in that final flowing of cold through your limbs that you love what you are."

--Lines For Winter, Mark Strand.

It is getting colder and colder, and there is something comforting, warming even, about reading Mark Strand's Lines For Winter.

'Twas the Night Before Christmas

and out in the garden,

The air grew quite cold

and the soil gently hardened.

There's nothing to do

in the garden tonight,

Under clear skies

with stars shining bright.

The gardener's work is

never quite done,

With weeding and growing

and errands to run.

Tonight the gardener

can sit back and rest,

To take a few hours

from the gardener's quest.

No thought tonight

of what should be sown,

Of what could be tended

and nurtured and grown.

The fire gently crackles,

the gardener dreams

of summer and spring,

all joyous it seems.

The radio plays

the Carols From Kings,

The gardener's mind

is full of good things.

The New Year approaches,

It's coming so fast,

The year that's now past us

was never to last.

Winter will lose its

battle with spring,

The bountiful blossom

a beautiful thing.

Winter's a thing we

all must endure,

A nasty affliction

that's minus a cure.

But now we know

that Christmas is here,

And good things will come

with the change of the year.

Merry Christmas everyone.

Towards Another Land, 2012. Calligraphy by Hassan Massoudy (Iraq, 1944-), text by Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi (Iranian, 1207–1273). Pigments on paper; paper: 74.9 x 54.9 cm (29 1/2 x 21 5/8 in.). The Cleveland Museum of Art, L. E. Holden Fund 2013.65

This dynamic calligraphic art by the Iraqi artist Hassan Massoudy integrates three styles of Arabic script. Large Arabic letters with strong sweeping curves washed in opalescent turquoise complement the small text written in his elegant version of angular Kufic script. It reads, "Towards another land—a country where only light reigns," by the Iranian poet Rumi. Silhouetted script in the central area contributes to the vibrant harmony of this stunning work.

Hassan Massoudy grew up in Iraq where he practiced calligraphy but had to emigrate in order to study figure painting. In Paris, however, calligraphy became increasingly prominent in his art, eventually it took over, and has also been incorporated in his performance art.

#prompt: write a poem playing with the idea of a ''tall tale''.#idk what to tell you about this one. i went to the wiki page for tall tale + i saw blackbeard's name.#and i thought about how there's a lot less mystery to the surface of the ocean now that we know where all the boundaries are.#and climate change and blah blah blah. and how there's just not rly a 1:1 on cool sexy mystery in the present day like we associate w/#the golden age of piracy. then i wrote this thing about 21st century blackbeard reacting to the kraken's death by climate change.#not sure how i feel about it but it's written in time and i wrote it so. started making it had a breakdown bone app the teeth #i am tagging this as blackbeard. i may have cause to regret this. if a certain fandom sees this -- hello. this is not abt that guy.#napowrimo #napowrimo 2024 #spilled ink #writeblr #poetry #poems on tumblr #poetry on tumblr #poets on tumblr #blackbeard #piracy #poem #pirate posting #img desc in alt text #damien.txt

3 Poems in Posit Journal

Delighted to have 3 poems published in the 35th edition of Posit journal. A special thanks to the editors for the brief editorial note accompanying my work:Pablo Saborío’s poems sing with music and meaning, burning with “the fire / that only a human mouth // can ignite into language.” With stunning economy, his mellifluous words create worlds as intriguingly strange as they are resonantly…

Melt into shadows of past shortcuts.

Tropes of throbbing walls;

Troubling smoke filled streaks.

Tumble, launching from brick to concrete.

Walled by floors, waiting for catastrophe.

Tinkering with tinting glasses.

Think thank, full of false pretenses.

Minced trusts' for unsung glory.

Brainiac upon manic bickering.

Wishing a launch into early dazes'.

Bay window drinking;

Hovering, spectating motored transport fly by.

Motorsport and ill willed equipment framing scenes.

Throwing away 9mm taped vicinity;

To sell 35mm pipe dreams.
