@gastarbajterica I love how this is echoed in Zagajewski’s “Try to Praise the Mutilated World” with “wild strawberries” and the music that “flared” at a remembered concert.

The Little Box
The little box grows her first teeth
And her little length grows
Her little width her little emptiness
And everything she has
The little box grows and grows
And now inside her is the cupboard
She was in before
And she grows and grows and grows
And now inside her is the room
And the house and town and land
And the world she was in before
The little box remembers her childhood
And by wishing really hard
Becomes a little box again
Now inside the little box
Is the whole world all teeny-weeny
Easy to slip in your pocket
Easy to steal easy to lose
Look after the little box

Tonight! Heno!
Performing Ilhan Çomak's poems with poet Simon Pettifer in Brecon tonight.
It will be a lovely drive up from Bristol through the countryside. Nice to get outta the city!

“All day long, all through the night, / all affairs — yours, ours, theirs — / are political affairs.
@BillyMills , here’s another interesting take on #poetry and #politics that I just came across (@joekd1 reminded me of #szymborska a few minutes ago) — Wisława Szymborska’s “Children of Our Age” (translated by Baranczak & Cavanagh) :

Ice that sealed the rock gaps
this morning starts to melt—
under the moss
water trickles
seeking its way
