Probably the only inaugural poem you’ll need to read this year:

history is torn and blistery
the future’s sutures are a mystery
wooed by healing thoughts, we swooned
and thus forgot to clean the wound

(also, I decided to try putting poems in block quotes)

Tags: fuck Elizabeth Alexander, fuck James Dickey, fuck Maya Angelou, fuck Miller Williams, fuck Robert Frost, this is a farewell kiss you dog
