Balers!
Some of you may have noticed that I'm hosting @TopTweetTuesday via @waveatthetrain. There may be something in the pipeline from Baler Publishing in the future. Essentially, I'm Still Here, so here's Sondheim and the divine @OfficialTracieB.

This dishcloth neck
Crepes in the light.
I think of Nora Ephron
Who felt bad about hers
And know that
I have not a hope in hell
Of loving mine.
#TopTweetTuesday #OfACertainAge
It looks like rain
I tell the starling
Its petrol back
Is blossom-spackled
Beak a sickle
In malachite velvet
It cocks up a pale eye
Knowing that the swifts are coming

Before sleep, a favourite from Joy Harjo -
because I know it's probably morning where most of you are,
and because no matter how often you hear 'do not be afraid'
you always need to hear it one more time 💙
When you remember @IMcMillan's team and you are a Miller.😐

When his voice carries
Nothing else is
You wait for
The sound
In your space
Anticipating the bell
To chime the quarters
Impatient until
The hours are rung out and out and out
And hoping it won’t come back again
And a bird sings on beneath the words. Rest, rest, Dai.
Dai Fry - this is your poem ‘Silence’, which I’ve recorded for you in tribute. Rest in peace, my friend. We’ll look after your poems for others to enjoy. And our love and condolences to Min and Jacob xxxxx @minnedd @thnargg @LitWales @_Re_side_ @TheFailureBaler @PaulDragonwolf1

Lie down for a minute in the grass, in the clingings-on of a cicada summer.
Bonus birds, bonus wind,
bonus, bonus this being alive.

Retweet this and say something nice about the town council and I will pick one person tomorrow at random and buy them a piece of merch of their choice.
You have to be following to qualify.

They’ll call her Catherine the midwife said
Convinced that I would be misnamed.
My mother snapped a reply so fervent
That it became a shored up wall of the family.
Delivered after Wednesday,
Away from being full of woe,
Presented on the next day
And yet still so very far to go.
