"rehearse my old defeats"
spindlyfly spiralling · through space duskfall
turquoise dulled · & a green duck's profile
we have sailed long · through a sickly light
back to baffling · broad day clowns
prying apart · portion by portion
the whole house · but you can't say that
things just fall · their time is finished
spindlyfly spiralling · in suppurating light
"I thought poetry could change everything, could change history and could humanize, and I think that the illusion is very necessary to push poets to be involved and to believe. But now I think that poetry changes only the poet."
—Mahmoud Darwish (via @ZeeshanJaanam)
