Pleasure! :-) Btw - on my laptop every link associated with your Substack (including those in emails, on the Substack website, etc.) redirects to your personal website and there’s no way I could find of viewing your Substack posts or any content associated with it, including these comments. This doesn’t happen on the phone app however (which is where I am writing this). Not sure if this was intentional or a bug in the system, but thought I’d mention it.
Gorgeous, especially the starlings poem. They are a sight to behold. When I lived in Virginia, they would descend on my lawn in a huge group, and fly off the same way. Your description is so perfect.
This captures what I like to think about our cats and dogs because their lives are too short. I imagine that when one animal dies it is like one petal falling off a flower, but the flower lives on and renews itself every year. You put it more beautifully.
"...one mind/radiating throughtout/a thousand wings..." Eff you, Joseph Massey for your vision! Damn it! Hahahahahahah! So good.
Hahaha I get a good one every now and again!
Really dig these! Lovely work.
Hey, thanks!

Love these evocative poems and the photo, as usual, is gorgeous. Thank you, Joseph.
Each poem full of concentrated, vivid imagery.
Thanks for reading!
