Hey, watch Andor.

Listen to a top UN official describe the horrific humanitarian disaster in Gaza right now: "I can tell you from having visited...death on this scale has a sound and a smell that does not leave you." History will never forget that we enabled this atrocity.

DIANE SEUSSModern Poetry @Graywolf Dwelling is deeply rooted in lyric having given up the stagy preoccupations of nostalgia. Zwicky talks about the scent of meaning, and DS once the contrast is suggested delves into aspects of the metaphor. Great lyrics often break the self open

ROBERT HASS Time and Materials ⁦@HarperCollins⁩ “Confer” — a complex verb suggesting unity among particulars. RH suavely constructs images conveying phenomena as visited by erotic grace/wholeness.The earnest question barely touches the surpassing fulness of experience.

I love this poem even more now I've grown old and achy when I get such days as Czeslaw describes here, though it's usually the Eccup Reservoir rather than blue sea and sails.
