Helena Almeida - Tela habitada, 1976
Wrapt in herself she wandered. And her deadness was filling her like fullness. Full as a fruit with sweetness and with darkness was she with her great death, which was so new that for the time she could take nothing in.
She had attained a new virginity and was intangible; her sex had closed like a young flower at the approach of evening, and her pale hands had grown so disaccustomed to being a wife, that even the slim god’s endlessly gentle contact as he led her disturbed her like a too great intimacy.
Even now she was no longer that blonde woman who’d sometimes echoed in the poet’s poems, no longer the broad couch’s scent and island, nor yonder man’s possession any longer.
She was already loosened like long hair, and given far and wide like fallen rain, and dealt out like a manifold supply.
She was already root.
And when abruptly, the god had halted her and, with an anguished outcry, outspoke the words: He has turned round!— she took in nothing, and said softly: Who?
—Rainer Maria Rilke, “Orpheus. Eurydice. Hermes.” (1904, excerpt) tr. Stephen Mitchell

The Witch in the Grass
by Sarah Morgan Bryan Piatt
“My mother says I must not pass Too near that glass; She is afraid that I will see A little witch that looks like me, With a red, red mouth, to whisper low The very thing I should not know!” Alack for all your mother’s care! A bird of the air, A wistful wind, or (I suppose Sent by some hapless boy) a rose With breath too sweet, will whisper low The very thing you should not know!

as a regular donor to Gaza Soup Kitchen I get their email updates, and they said today that while they've continued to be able to expand, donations are slowing down as Gaza gets less coverage. If you have a few dollars to spare, I encourage you to send them here to continue the amazing work that Hani and his team are doing.
