Tonight I've watched.

"It feels morally bankrupt to be sitting here translating Rilke or reading about the Tokugawa shogunate as good people die in the streets trying to fight fascism. There is no daily thing which feels adequate now. I am at a loss." —@saintsoftness.bsky.social

Linger.

still & white & very cold
no fight cracking the smooth skin
not much brighter's noon
baboon in a narrowing cell
ice covers ilka song
whether expressed or prudent held
honeyed strains of watching
still & white & not long king
i say not long king

"A young artist just performed a cover of a very important, culturally treasured anti-war song on Norwegian live tv and dedicated it to Palestine."
