"... Now, I think I realize that the surreal is what happens when you simply allow yourself to be open to the possibility that there is something beyond your certainty, that there is something at work, always, just outside of the fact of what you know ..."
What a wonderful surprise this piece is: "I love a poem that takes every turn towards surprise, that covers its eyes with a shirt, and wanders itself toward revelation and through hesitation and backwards into the past and forwards into the poem." Sometimes, life comes through a surprise opening. Thank you and thank you for including your prompt - I think it will be fun.
Thank you for this reminder that to visit the same ground over and over again with fresh eyes and an open heart is a political act. "There is a violence of certainty that is at work in the most awful and evil actions of those with power..."
"I want to practice what it feels like to stumble rather than to know" yes yes yes, this, entirely.
🧡 thanks for reading, Hannah
