"Tolkien's was the first generation to grow up with non-specialist access to a whole library of long-forgotten medieval legends & poems." (thread)

Geometric rainpuddle.

      "The Blue Deneb"

lungs, fluid, layaway
alert to word hurdles
      May's silver
   insolence braved
start a bookwork file · for all my old torts

lit lines grimace looming
elect a face specter
      if illness
   has an address
circumbendibus · sorry all the time

count the pothole pummels
portal of gauche notions
      road of owns
   or red scansion
this part lost · to the storied lurgy

"Nor Fame I slight, nor for her favours call;
She comes unlook'd for, if she comes at all.."
