Rain, Donald Hall
poetry365:
Curled on the sofa,
In the fetal position, Jane wept day
And night, night and day.
I could not touch her; I could do nothing.
Melancholia fell
Like rain over Ireland for week
Without end.
I never
Belittled her sorrows or joshed at
Her dreads and miseries.
How admirable I found myself.

just the idea of a (Franco) short film on The Clerk’s Tale makes me nauseous and incredulous at the same time… p.s. where did you do your MFA?
i went to Lesley U’s low-residency MFA in creative writing. i also wanted to do a ‘follow-up to the Franco tumble’ tumble, but all that has since...

holy fucking shit. as if i wasn’t already worried about this guy portraying Ginsberg in the Howl movie (he’s just not…hedonistically intellectual, dirty-ugly-sexy like Ginsberg), now this. wow. i always said my semester...

“In the middle of tomorrow, a great ribbed ghost has emerged from a distant...”
– clearly it’s a steampunk ghost ship. cryo-geriatrically sepia-sealed and preserved. a traveler and explorer from yesterday’s future! tee hee.

Chastity Belt by Yusef Komunyakaa
Invisible catches & secret hooks, bone
Within bone & trick locks.
If a man needs this to hold
Love in place, the master of keys
Will always bite his nails
To the quick. Tooled leather,
Laced mail, & jeweled bronze.
Before his departure over a body
Of tremulent water, he turns
The key in the lock as they kiss.
Like something alive, it sways
Beneath his armor from a gold...

Mustang Bagel by Kiki Petrosino
Even at my favorite coffeeshop downtown, Redford
is a hard man to feed. This morning, he picks
at his Grilled Asiago Mastercrust with a slow, disdainful frown. Could they spare the fromage on this so-called “treat?”
He takes a sip of hazelnut coffee, then winces delicately
into the neck of his sweater vest. I bite powerfully
through my Cinnamon Frenchroll: Well, if you really...
