I can’t stop thinking, tonight, about this Louise Glück poem, just astounded at how sad it is, and yet still how in love with the world

"I held the Harvest Moon in my hand like a leafy luminescent bowling ball. Unsure of which direction to throw it, I swallowed it." 🔥 today from @justin_karcher ! havehashad.com/hadposts/as-n…
October 23, 2026 As Nature Prepared for the Cold Dark of Winter? Justin Karcher I held the Harvest Moon in my hand like a leafy luminescent bowling ball. Unsure of which direction to throw it, I swallowed it. Now I'm about to burst terrified of what might happen next. In Delaware a hunter shot and killed a woman he mistook for a deer. I imagine she was wearing ritualistic antlers and heading deep into the woods to perform a spell. One that could heal the world and save broken people like me.
