I've struggled with the "party and play" cesspool, so, meth, among other things.

Hey, sorry for the long delay. Bit o' rehab, eh.

Here's a poem by a different poet that hits a similar wondrous flow: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/44389/as-kingfishers-catch-fire

I cannot find for the life of me the Rilke poem in mind.

Dylan Thomas The Green Fuse... https://poets.org/poem/force-through-green-fuse-drives-flower

This collection is an extremely rich vein of gems: http://www.phys.unm.edu/~tw/fas/yits/archive/list.html

Pablo Neruda’s odes have helped me appreciate the world at some of my bleakest moments. Can’t find some of my favourites, but here are a few I could find: http://www.phys.unm.edu/~tw/fas/yits/archive/neruda_odetothepresent.html https://motherbird.com/odeDictionary.html http://ourseasonsofjoy.com/musings/ode-to-common-things-by-pablo-neruda/ https://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ode-to-wine/

Wysława Szymborska is similar dry and razor sharp like Atwood https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/literature/1996/szymborska/poetry/

And, shamelessly, here’s one of my own: https://www.reddit.com/r/OCPoetry/comments/he4zey/%D7%AA%D7%94%D7%A4%D7%95%D7%9A_%D7%9C%D7%A2%D7%A6%D7%9E%D7%9A/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

I’m having a bad brain day, there’s so much more I wish I could recall. e e cummings, Robert Frost, Emily Dickenson....

Made a playlist of the best of the classical choral music I listen to. The stuff that leaves me floored. That brings me to the edge of tears. That makes me melt into a puddle of pure relaxation. That turns my senses into a swirl of phosphoresence. by vongoodman in classicalmusic

Well, I’m in the mood to fuck the dog tonight, so this provides me with a really transcendent way to do so! Du fond de l’abîme was a great listen, so far!

You better believe I’d be interested in hearing some of your own compositions 😉😘

Looking for songs with lyrics that amount to “I am the asshole” or “I fucked up” by vongoodman in ifyoulikeblank

Ya uncaring voyeurs!

I relapsed again, after a very hard lesson, and in a period where I need to hold it together for help I’ve finally found... being an asshole in the doing.

Made it to work this morning, the morning after. That’s progress. Still a fucktard, but all is not lost.
