The World Is Full of Prayers Arrived at From Afterwards

Rest in Peace, Mimi Parker

One last Rest in Peace, Mike Davis

Think about this headline and sub-head (and after that, consider why three days before a midterm the private became public)

"We should have walked out on the Democratic Party and mounted a serious opposition movement while we still had a chance"

Republicans will not concede a single defeat on Wednesday (my bet is all will claim victory Tuesday night regardless of results), will claim voter fraud for every defeat, shitlord media will report this matter-of-factly as a both-sides issue

Across the river and into the trees

The midterm elections don't matter

When I heard that Mimi Parker died I went to where I thought they'd be and there they were, my LOW CDs, then realized I don't own a CD player at this moment in time (the one in the house broke, neither of our cars has a CD player, I don't have an external drive to plug into the chromebook, fuck is wrong with me, laugh), it's all there on bandcamp, should I do it by favorite (and if favorite bottom to top or top to bottom) or chronologically? (the leader in the clubhouse cause that requires only one decision)

AFTERWARDS

David Baker

A short ride in the van, then the eight of us   

there in the heat—white shirtsleeves sticking,   

the women’s gloves off—fanning our faces.   

   The workers had set up a big blue tent   

      

       to help us at graveside tolerate the sun,   

    which was brutal all afternoon as if   

stationed above us, though it moved limb   

   to limb through two huge, covering elms.   

      The long processional of neighbors, friends,   

   the town’s elderly, her beauty-shop patrons,   

her club’s notables. . . The world is full of   

   prayers arrived at from afterwards, he said.   

      Look up through the trees—the hands, the leaves   

curled as in self-control or quietly hurting,   

or now open, flat-palmed, many-fine-veined,   

    and whether from heat or sadness, waving.
