Lidl have just retarmacked my local stores car park. I decided to honour this, with a wink to Joni Mitchell and a nudge to Phillip Larkin. I wrote a poem for my son.
'See the rain glisten and pool on mans petroleum product.
It lies like a black flag to our progress stretched flat across the earth.
See the remarked white line, disciplined and straight
controling unruly nature'.

"Here, in the forest, the last remaining, each branch is a school, a nursery, and a requiem, and each still reaches for the sun."

With the first days of August comes July's installment of 'Polylith', tumbling in the slipstream.
This month we take a walk in the charged space between computer model and phenomenal experience.
@exiliaex it’s my favorite too! I know that it’s not totally scientifically accurate, but it might be soon for many species. It’s full of #LossPoetry and #EcoPoetry and makes me happy-sad every time 
The books have arrived! It is a beautiful thing to finally hold in my hands.

(Boosts welcome!)
Whispers freighted with odour swinging into the air,
Russet needles as censers swing to an altar, where
The angels’ songs are less divine
Than duo sung twixt breeze and pine.
- From “The Happy Hunting Grounds” by Six Nations Mohawk poet E. Pauline Johnson, early 20th century

Many thanks to Samantha Terrell for featuring my work on her blog :)
More and more I have come to admire resilience.
Not the simple resistance of a pillow, whose foam
returns over and over to the same shape, but the sinuous
tenacity of a tree: finding the light newly blocked on one side,
it turns in another. A blind intelligence, true.
But out of such persistence arose turtles, rivers,
mitochondria, figs – all this resinous, unretractable earth.

“Poetry is the attempt to understand fully what is real, what is present, what is imaginable…”
The Art of Noticing — and Appreciating — our Dizzying World
(gift article, no paywall)
From Robert Frede Kenter @RobertFredeKenter in IceFloe Press:
Blue jays, red cardinals, their
sculpted wings fluttering, eco memorial
to the do-not-cross zones, melted cheese
cathedrals of worship,
glacial, screaming, cake icing, generative celestial.

There is magic in the tree's
Space
Hope
A chance to breathe!
You can root yourself here
In the woods
Take a little time
It feels so good
But don't forget
You've a duty too
To care for its life
As it cares for you.

Sunny Ways is real and I've got copies to prove it. If you're itching to get your hands on one, consider pre-ordering it through your local indie bookstore or directly through Invisible Publishing's website.
Sunny Ways is about the pressures that produce climate change denialism, the false hope that holds up our status quos, and the anticipatory grief that we feel when facing down something so massive. #poetry #ecopoetry #ClimateCrisis
