There is an art to flocking: staying separate enough not to crowd each other, aligned enough to maintain a shared direction, and cohesive enough to always move toward each other. (Responding to destiny together.) Destiny is a calling that creates a beautiful journey.
Joy Harjo • All We Can Save: Truth, Courage, and Solutions for the Climate Crisis
The quote is important to Dene. This there there. He hadn’t read Gertrude Stein beyond the quote. But for Native people in this country, all over the Americas, it’s been developed over, buried ancestral land, glass and concrete and wire and steel, unreturnable covered memory.

Joy Sullivan @joysullivanpoet My Mother Asks How I'm Doing with Just Whisky and Cats None of us were built for this, after all. Loneliness enters the house and takes off her boots. The days lose light. I keep hoping for the postman- his everyday footsteps, a kind of friendliness. There is no name for this kind of breaking. It's November and my neighbor sets off fireworks. The moon is an aching white eye. Some nights, I sleep inside your old shirt. Even wolves need a soft body to curl toward in the dark. From Instructions For Traveling West The Dial Press, 2024. #poetryisnotaluxury
