I love the concept of the new year, slouching, unlovable. Upturns established views and expectations of it.

As for the moon ... wow! Subversive in every imaginable dimension, unforgettable flourish , beyond-real yet somehow hyper-real ❄️📖🌕

Oh Ruth, this is such fine work! I love the last lines of the first 4 stanzas, especially the bridal train on the slagheap - isn't that the way it always goes? We are married in lace and then spend the next so many years with rags scrubbing at everything. Sending love and light!
