You can tell by the facile daffodilsAnd many bans on gender-Affirming care that spring is here. It is successful, it succeeds,No resistance to the calendar. A miracle the day can holdAll the struck past of weather. Then things get complicated. The yellow has melancholyLoose within it, and greenTakes back the perimeter. With all the invisible growthOn hand, you feel a maniaCame and went overnightOr remains as fragrance.

Myfavorite read in 2023…Grann’s epic, true-life tale of shipwreck and mutiny has already been heaped with praise for its brilliant storytelling, so I will focus on a less-discussed aspect: the staggering research behind all those wonderful details about 18th-century navigation, British maritime law, scurvy symptoms, and the like.

This is a love poem. It has no business. It happens in that anyway world Where the bodies are by now decidedTo get all the way up, accompaniedBy changes in temperature and lightWelcome and unwelcome both,Lie down, get up, go prone again, Get nowhere in time. I won’tReduce to a single preposition A relation to the one person about it Like grass.
