An Alleged Lock of Emily Dickinson’s Hair is Selling for $450,000… But Was it Stolen? ‹ Literary Hub

Sep16

So again, a bunch of asshole men are violating a lesbian’s physical effects. They should be ashamed. I wonder how the famously private Emily and Susan would view it.

Prayer for the Autumnal Equinox

I ask the blessing of this fall season on all I care about.

Blessing of the equinox sunlight at dawn that travels directly from the east and that sets in west

Blessings of the squirrel that rains down pine cone petals preparing for cold

Blessings of the raven keeping a careful eye on the garden

Blessing of the plants setting seed for next year

Blessing of the falling sycamore leaves in the yard

Blessings of the taste of freshly harvested corn

Blessings of the brightness of colour from pumpkins and squash

Blessings of the fall Santa Ana winds that blow.

Blessings of the crisp morning air

Be with me and those I love from the later dawn

Through the violet and pinks of twilight

Through the midnight blue of stars and night

To the next dawn of light.
