Let me tell you about another brewer (of God’s love) who (spiritually) swept the dodgers (of social justice) in ancient Palestine. His name was Jesus Christ.

My debut poetry collection #RUNGBYRUNG has a foreword! I get to reveal its cover this week. In the meantime, I wanted to thank Cathy Hankla for her generous introduction and share a taste. #debutpoet @cavankerrypress.bsky.social
Humberto Ak'abal, from IF TODAY WERE TOMORROW (seems a fitting poem for a Sunday morning...) #smallpoemsunday @tomsnarsky.bsky.social
[Watching a game. It goes to an ad break. A PSA comes on. It shows a series of tweets by techlord AI dorks. A voiceover begins...] Have you seen these f*&%in' guys? The ones who said we don't need humanities? You want to be like them? I didn't think so. The Humanities: Grow a Soul™.
Feeling this poem today... Just returned from my third long-ish walk of the day, w/ the dog, and still no sign of me.... (Humberto Ak'abal, btw - translation mine)
Do this! The Ak’abal volume is so great.
