  • The beginnings have already begun

  • Does articulation blunt inner experience or elaborate it? Some thoughts on compulsive digital writing

  • You shall not think “the past is finished” or “the future is before us”

  • We are poised on the shore of a new continent

  • We make poetry out of a mouthful of air

  • Form as a poem’s way of being in the world

  • 🌕 You are the music while the music lasts

  • Forgetting was my only option

  • The crushing banality of AI-play

  • So here I am

  • Last year’s words belong to last year’s language and next year’s words await another voice

  • So I find words I never thought to speak in streets I never thought I should revisit

  • And the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time

  • So here I am

  • One has only learnt to get the better of words for the things one no longer has to say

  • The wayward temporality of psychic life

  • Footfalls echo in the memory down the passage which we did not take

  • The things you can’t remember tell the things you can’t forget that history puts a saint in every dream

  • We must be still and still moving, into another intensity

  • The fruit of reconciliation and relief after immense suffering

  • Distracted from distraction by distraction

  • Each venture is a new beginning, a raid on the inarticulate

  • Each venture is a new beginning, a raid on the inarticulate
