The Witch Doesn't Burn In This One by Amanda Lovelace
1.75
‘we can’t lose our empathy’ to me doesn’t go along w ‘make no apologies; accept no apologies’.
feels too much like the ubiquitous effort to be as angry and loud as possible in order to overthrow shit rather than of all of us (including & especially men) being softer and more in the generous listening. this debate to me is going toward the false direction.
i am not wanting to discredit anger i am just questioning the sensibility and efficiency of words like these at a time like this (war, social injustice, lived consequences of decades disregarding our home & source 🌍)
also just didn’t find the style of poetry itself compelling
