Sunday Recap & When the Hum Rises by Maggie Devers
Here’s your recap of this week’s poems plus one new poem to carry us into the week ahead.
We live for the take down,The misstepWe watch the trip and fallNever extending a hand—Not understanding We’re the ones flat on our face.
What if we abandon the unending scrollOf false justice What if we suspended judgement Even for a dayWhat if we realize our power can do moreThen keep the lights on.

Dec 2 - my throat makes by atm.itm @atm.itm on Instagram. @atmitm on Substack. They are co-founder of studio somnus: a creative project agency.

Dec 7When the Hum Rises Maggie Devers The outrage machine is always on Like the neon in a 24-hour diner,But it doesn’t use electricity, The continual dopamine hitOf finding the wrong in someone else’s rightPowers the nation.We live for the take down,The misstepWe watch the trip and fallNever extending a hand—Not understanding We’re the ones flat on our face.
What if we abandon the unending scrollOf false justice What if we suspended judgement Even for a dayWhat if we realize our power can do moreThen keep the lights on.
