Tenderness and rot
share a border.
and rot is an
aggressive neighbor
whose iridescence
keeps creeping over.

No lessons
can be drawn
from this however.

One is not
two countries.
One is not meat
corrupting.

It is important
to stay sweet
and loving.

Kay Ryan, “Tenderness and Rot,” Poetry, 2002

Portrait/Logo

A chamber for all things resonant.

Ars longa,
vita brevis,
occasio praeceps,
experimentum periculosum,
iudicium difficile.
