Love these two, Julian! One shows nature adapting to human industry; the other turns industry into a way of thinking about love. Such a clever contrast.

Thanks Paul. Really nice crossing paths again. It’s been sporadic I know during the summer for a whole host of reasons. Ju

Love these, JC..! That wonderfully eccentric crow in the first, then the sly turn in “the sole resource / we must never seek / to diversify.” Two very different poems, both unmistakably you... 👏👏👏

The first one has the spirit of an elongated haiku. Phrases and images reconstruct a world in a moment 👏🦋

How brilliantly you capture that crow. I saw the entire event so clearly. Fantastic metaphor in the second piece. Subtle references to the physical versus the emotional draw in a relationship. Excellent work all round, Ju! 👏👏👏
