Great word choice today, Sean. It is so fun to play with a word that carries such varied meanings. The Pollock poem is my favorite by far. Deep, consequential meaning and intent using the fewest possible words Stellar.

Sean, you never disappoint! How wonderful a selection (but no fish scales?) and I am going to have to find a copy of Ceive., the concept is as intriguing as the poem. I love the way the B. K, Fisher starts with nouns. And I love the whimsy of the Helen Mort. thank you

“Pain Scale” is so gorgeous in its reach beyond the individual body.

Balance followed by scale—nice! At first Mary Leader’s poem resembled a descending chromatic scale, but now I see a quarter rest.
