Insidious and Cruel

March 20, 2026

The coming of spring is insidious and cruel.

The mist pervades my throat as it melted the crystal

my voice was. I am weak, and I much preferred

the hard agreement of our truce of gauntlets.

Marilyn Hacker, “The Song of LĂ­adan”

Thought:

“So Good Luck came, and on my roof did light,
Like noiseless snow; or as the dew of night:
Not all at once, but gently, as the trees
Are, by the sunbeams, tickled by degrees.”

Robert Herrick | “The Coming of Good Luck”
