[ID: i want you in this way / that feels like dread.]

The Fireman's Daughter, Jonathan Kinsman

[ID: I want to be hurt / For my swollen heart to be humiliated / Or rather I expect this / Dread or want it I can't tell the difference / Or I have elided the difference on purpose / I want to be hurt & I organize this feeling]

The Rose, Ariana Reines

BEGINNING - Sarah Mills

Poem titled FOUR FRIENDS CATCH UP OVER PASTA, with phrases divided by forward slashes: I'm doing better / they need to run more tests / we're moving in together / I'm never dating again I how is your dad? | how is your heart? / how are you dealing with the state of the world? / I love your new hair color / I'm on new meds / remember how young we used to be? / let's build a commune / we can have sheep / and goats? / yes, and dancing / 1 missed you / it's been too long / this is delicious - the sauce, the salad / this night / all of it. -Amy Kay

Resolution #1,003 I will love who loves me I will love as much as I am loved I will hate who hates me I will feel nothing for everyone oblivious to me I will stay indifferent to indifference I will live hostile to hostility I will make myself a passionate and eager lover in response to passionate and eager love I will be nobody’s fool

Try to Praise the Mutilated World BY ADAM ZAGAJEWSKI TRANSLATED BY CLARE CAVANAGH Try to praise the mutilated world. Remember June's long days, and wild strawberries, drops of rosé wine. The nettles that methodically overgrow the abandoned homesteads of exiles. You must praise the mutilated world. You watched the stylish yachts and ships; one of them had a long trip ahead of it, while salty oblivion awaited others. You've seen the refugees going nowhere, you've heard the executioners sing joyfully. You should praise the mutilated world. Remember the moments when we were together in a white room and the curtain fluttered. Return in thought to the concert where music flared. You gathered acorns in the park in autumn and leaves eddied over the earth's scars. Praise the mutilated world and the gray feather a thrush lost, and the gentle light that strays and vanishes and returns.
