ok so willa & i read a poem from soft threat b/c it’s sunday and we’re killing time

to whom the river spoke is the title of every manifesto  written since 1760   a year I remember as a hillside unyielding to a violet light most often draped against me   here the good shepherd unaliened though full to gulping of stars and now the virgin continent   little piercing its pastel plain silence retaining this holding pattern I am carefully etched to quiet

from GLAM GIRLS in ILK 13
