We walked on fossils

[sovay]

Several mornings recently it has snowed, but it's finally sticking in the thin trees of the back yard, the tangle of pokeberries at the front, the gravel- and moss-roofed tumuli of the neighbors' garages.



I have no particular feelings about the lyrics video for Anna B Savage's "Lighthouse" (2024), but the line we shone in sea-spray near Heaney's place made me think that "Agnes (feat. Anna Mieke)" (2024) should be considered as another of the innumerable radiations of his bog body poems, which it is appropriate should have such a fertile afterlife. I am off, once again, to the dentist.

It stuck around! It produced a short-lived snow emergency! It was like people in New England forgot how to drive when the sky freezes!

Garages, pfeh. I know a tomb that has recently risen from beneath the Earth as well as anyone.
