I've spent my time with the women of ambient playlist on spotify & poem 1 - titular connection - made me think that way. kara-lis coverdale's Moments in Love; Loraine James' Whatever the Weather album; Mary Lattimore, endlessly. This approach to the molecular isn't unique but Spahr's slow prose-cess pulled me in twain... at once static intrusion like yr cuts in Fire Walk With Me & equally electromagnets . Today reading the blurb of a different poet where the critic writes 'Everything written about is ennobled, an island, a fishing expedition, a walk, a shave, a friend' & partly I'm probably uncomfortable because of the unironic victorianism (ennobled??) & partly because I don't like to take that as a good thing, to make a sweeping statement, poetry's probably not about making things bigger. Who's out going ah it is my duty to ennoble my friends for them

& Spahr's second poem lurches into the tidal/time-zone / politik. Nobody knows if a good political poem was ever written but if it has happened this is a good approach. o beloveds.
Beloveds, this poem is an attempt to speak with the calmness of the world seen from space and to forget the details
