What Good Celery! is to poetry and imagery, pow wow and Ondelette are to incisive analysis. I thank all three of you, and all the others unmentioned but not undervalued.
I do have to say though, that reading pow wow and Ondelette back to back can be a bit daunting. How do we manufacture strength from such a scorned position? How do we address the morality/criminality of actions that are barely acknowledged by those responsible, or by those who should be holding the reins of accountability?
We are going through a period of realignment, the actual extent and depth of which we won't know for some time. It feels like standing on the edge of an abyss, holding your breath, because you don't know whether inhalation, or exhalation, will be the action that causes your fall.
