i stayed for this; for murky coffee at the bottom of my cup. for pulling another tick off my dog. the sun came down, though - i wish you could have seen it - and i swear to you; everything was so violently beautiful that even god hiccupped. it is a long life of small moments. i am so glad for that. i work a knot out of my hair. i am briefly annoyed by the omnipresence of dust. and above, overhead in magic: the moon has tilted herself - a gentle, yielding cusp.

[image text: Now the man called Hector.

(Struggling.) Shining Hector. Man-killing Hector. Hektoros hippodamoio. (He translates). Hector breaker of horses – it’s always so hard to describe Hector – 

His little brother calls him a “sharp ax” – a sharp edge, always cleaving forward…

Hector believes in – he believes in institutions, he believes in  – in country, he believes in family, he believes in the army. Isn’t it funny how hard it is to describe a good man?

He’s a brave man, but deep down, he’d rather be taming horses.]

Joy Sullivan, from Instructions for Traveling West: Poems; “Howl”

[ID: poem text reading,

"I am finally a woman willing to feed herself—light, bread, joy. Sometimes, you don't know that you're starving until you've had a proper meal. That's when your heart really begins to howl—when it learns what it's been missing."
