i love the way the snow

makes less of the night,

itself its own impossible skyshine,

and yet makes more -- more stillness,

a deeper glad hushing thickly laid,

even as it undulates and dances madly

on currents unknowable.

it is also this way with love.

-MRE (written recently but not tonight)

I am loving these posts! <3

I cried while thinking about the snow. Thanks so much for your messages here! They are always beautiful and make my throat tighten.

You introduced me to this poem in a tweet. I have written it out in my journal several times, sent it to people, re read it many times. It always makes me cry with recognition determination sorrow longing. "What else could I do?" I have since bought a couple small books of Bernadette Meyer's poetry. Thank you for this! (Venus Taurus)

I’ve been thinking about sending Bernadette Mayer some snail mail since I saw she likes getting letters, maybe you should too and ask her for chart deets
