I’ve been thinking a lot about composting and ditching the service we pay for to do the damned thing ourselves, but I keep stunting myself as to which decisions are best — build it myself, buy something to assemble, would we run out of space, where should it be stored, etc. The imagery of clipping peels and rinds immediately associated.
The line about poetry being sold in Spring felt slightly melancholic to me. There’s something about buying poetry in the springtime that connects with a sense of optimism with nice weather, and I know I’m guilty of picturing myself reading a book and never getting to it. And I don’t know why this felt vulnerable as a statement. But I liked it a lot.
We have one of those little tumblers that works pretty well but growing up we had a small fenced mound in the backyard for easily compostable things and yard stuff. Didn't take a ton of space and every fall it would fill to bursting but then decompose satisfyingly :)
Glad you resonated! I found that sentiment profound, too. Trends in hope means there are trends in despair as well...
