How to be precise

     kurdish black tea with rose & cardamom from Murî ( rating: 3.6/5)  not usually a fan of astringent black teas but i liked how deep its sapidity still was, righteously balanced with the floral.                                                        Slicing ginger root yesterday urged me to consider why the verb "gingerly" is derived from the plant. What does it mean exactly to take delicate action upon a subject? The online thesaurus provided "precisely" and "accordingly" as its most equitable synonyms, but I can't help but feel dissatisfied with its supposed parallels. To take action gingerly, yes, entails a certain precaution, but not necessarily a causation for accuracy. It means to move small, to move dearly, to take gentle care with the way you have chosen to perform such action, more so for the sake of feeling ...

I love Anne Carson

Stanzas, Sexes, Seductions

(Anne Carson)

It’s good to be neuter.
            I want to have meaningless legs.
                         There are things unbearable.
                                      One can evade them a long time.
Then you die.

The ocean reminds me
            of your green room.
                         There are things unbearable.
                                      Scorn, princes, this little size
of dying.

My personal poetry is a failure.
            I do not want to be a person.
                         I want to be unbearable.
                                      Lover to lover, the greenness of love.
Cool, cooling.

Earth bears no such plant.
            Who does not end up
                         a female impersonator?
                                      Drink all the sex there is.
Still die.

I tempt you.
            I blush.
                        There are things unbearable.
                                     Legs, alas.
Legs die.

Rocking themselves down,
            crazy slow,
                         some ballet term for it—
                                      fragment of foil, little
spin,
            little drunk,
                         little do,
                                      little oh,
                                                   alas.
