June!!

• "At times I feel your voice is reaching me from far away, while I am prisoner of a gaudy and unlivable present, where all forms of human society have reached an extreme of their cycle and there is no imagining what new forms they may assume. And I hear, from your voice, the invisible reasons which make cities live, through which perhaps, once dead, they will come to life again." - Italo Calvino

• An important book/force for me this month was A Sand Book by Ariana Reines.. I keep wanting to post a quote or something from it, but it almost feels like to take out of context would rend the poem apart, render the quote inert.. maybe just "I expected the world would respond to my thought / I had seen some ads / I had been to their school"
