Sunday Recap & Something Nice for Myself by Maggie Devers
Here’s your recap of this week’s poems plus one new poem to carry us into the week ahead.
So maybe I’ll cross it off my to do list since it’s really already doneAnd wait for that moment of inspiration to put the hammer in my hand, pencil in my hairAnd count out the inches from the floor.
It will make more sense when they’re on the wall,a picture always does and art always does Art always does, but a part of me likes to live in that place between making sense and not,Being real and notWhere anything can happen,Especially if I’m wearing pink suede clogs.
Nov 17 - The Anatomy of a Queer Body by Gokul Prabhu @iamameme_gp on Instagram and @gokulprabhu1 on Substack.
Nov 18 - Raindrops by Kunjal Saraswat @_heart_cuddles_ on Instagram.

Nov 23Something Nice for MyselfMaggie Devers New clogs, soft pink suede baby.The stack of pictures, waiting to be hung, leaning against the wallStaring at me like they have for a year since we moved in.I move them around occasionally,Inspired by a new blank place where they will be most at home, but I haven’t been able to decide yetExactly where they need to go.I think I’m waiting for them to tell meThey know, they know.So maybe I’ll cross it off my to do list since it’s really already doneAnd wait for that moment of inspiration to put the hammer in my hand, pencil in my hairAnd count out the inches from the floor.
It will make more sense when they’re on the wall,a picture always does and art always does Art always does, but a part of me likes to live in that place between making sense and not,Being real and notWhere anything can happen,Especially if I’m wearing pink suede clogs.
