🌬️ In honor of his 99th, here is a John Ashbery marathon from me.
Below is a favorite poem of mine, titled, “From Estuaries, from Casinos” that leaves me so tearful, especially:
I wish I could tell the next thing. But in dreams I can’t, / so will let this thing stand in for it, this me / I have become, this loving you either way.
The full poem can be found here but a note that on the bottom of the page you can listen to the reading!
