This news is days old.
News or not, Climate matters.
New's the wrong question.

As Climate ratchets,
skeptics scoff, still asking proof.
Cartoon Physics shield.
When none remain to agree,
will that be finally Proof?

I'm reading a book of classical poems by Arab women, and found this gem from some 1000 years ago:
"Leave me alone, you’re not my equal, you’re not a man of the world nor a man of faith, yet you want to own me, you mindless twit."
(by Umm Ja'far bint Ali)
That's it. That's the whole poem.

John Hollander’s poem Kitty and Bug is self-explanatory in its simplicity. The cat’s unpunctuated, almost stream-of-consciousness thoughts fit into a physical ‘cat’ shape, while the bug – in sharp contrast – is but a 3-letter word near the edge of the page.
Happy #Caturday !

This chamber has an echo
It's the echo of the social contract
The echo of consent
The echo of consideration
The echo of collaboration
The echo of a safe space
The echo of a silly space
The echo of our space

sitting in the dark as the sun rises
Hover or focus to reveal
Sensitive
I sit awake.
The birds are calling, but not to me.
I languish in the glow of blue.
The keys clack.
The sun peeks below shuttered eyes outside.
Sleep is an unlikely relief.
My pulse flows
Like honey through my chest, my arms.
I arch over my luminous addiction.
The birds call.
The glow is cold, conniving, indiscriminate.
Shuttered eyes obscure warmth.
I sit awake.
The sun flows like honey through my aluminum cracks.
My eyes shutter at the thought.
The glow shuts.
The eyes close, rattling, metallic, familiar.
Obscured sunlight, a reminder that it's another day.
I lie awake.

I am not okay today. So, in the absences of okay, what else can I be?
I can be gentle. I can be unashamed. I can turn my pain into stillness. I can be awake to nature. I can sharpen my empathy against the stone of discomfort.
I am not okay, but I am many worthy things.

In the Desert by Stephen Crane.
(again, sorry).
In the desert
I saw a creature, naked, bestial,
Who, squatting upon the ground,
Held his heart in his hands,
And ate of it.
I said, ‘Is it good, friend?’
‘It is bitter — bitter,’ he answered;
‘But I like it
Because it is bitter,
And because it is my heart.’
